2021 KIA Seltos 2.0L Petrol · AE70 FFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding tyre condition. While it passed the most recent test in April 2026 at 54,404 miles, the tester identified a new advisory for both rear tyres being worn on the inner edges. This follows a pattern established in the April 2025 test where all four tyres were flagged for being close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. The record shows 7,953 miles driven between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, followed by another 3,853 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 inspections. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly rather than suffering long periods of standing, though the recurring tyre issues indicate a lack of proactive attention to wheel alignment and suspension geometry. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the wheel geometry and suspension components. The persistent inner-edge wear on the tyres across multiple tests suggests a likely alignment fault or potentially worn suspension bushes, faulty control arms, or degraded damper units. The buyer should also verify if the windscreen mentioned in 2025 has been replaced or if the damage has progressed into a crack that now compromises the driver's field of view.
