KIA XCEED 2 ISG2020 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent MOT test on 31 March 2025 at 32,176 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that any issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified and the vehicle has since maintained a clean sheet across two consecutive passing results, suggesting a consistent standard of care by the owner. The mileage pattern is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,360 miles per annum. There is a significant jump in usage between the 2024 test at 19,755 miles and the 2025 test at 32,176 miles, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in eleven months. While low annual mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushes, the periods of lower use can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or brake corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Despite the clean history since then, a buyer should investigate the failure recorded on 19 September 2023 at 17,661 miles. Although the record does not specify the exact mechanical fault, the fact that it passed just twenty-four hours later suggests a simple consumable replacement such as a bulb or minor adjustment. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on surface rust on brake discs and flat spotting on tyres, which are common issues in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods between tests.
