2021 KIA Ceed GT ISG S-A 1.6L Petrol · BE10 KAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward neglect regarding consumable items. While the car passed its tests in 2024 and 2025 without any defects, the most recent inspection in February 2026 at 44,867 miles identified multiple tyre-related failures. This indicates that while the mechanical systems remained sound, the owner has recently deferred routine maintenance on the rubber components. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between the February 2024 test at 21,863 miles and the February 2026 test at 44,867 miles, the car covered 23,004 miles. This represents a steady usage profile that does not suggest undue strain on the drivetrain or suspension, but the interval is sufficient to justify the wear seen on the tyres noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres as the 2026 test flagged cracking and perishing on both rear tyres along with an offside front tyre reaching the 3mm limit with uneven wear. The perishing suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for periods or is using aged rubber, while the edge wear on the front tyre indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Since no structural corrosion or brake defects were recorded in the previous two years, the primary focus should remain on these immediate consumable requirements and ensuring the new set of tyres is properly fitted.
