2021 KIA Xceed 3 ISG 1.5L Petrol · CK71 VBJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 16 September 2025, which remains in force until 15 September 2026. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the record indicates a sharp decline in maintenance standards compared to the previous year. The transition from a clean pass in September 2024 to a failure in September 2025 suggests that the previous owner neglected routine consumable replacement, allowing the braking and tyre systems to reach critical levels of degradation before seeking professional intervention. The recorded mileage of 44,556 miles over a five-year period aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per annum. The progression from 37,731 miles in September 2024 to 44,556 miles in September 2025 shows consistent annual usage of roughly 6,800 miles. This steady accumulation is generally preferable to low-mileage vehicles that have sat idle for extended periods, as it suggests the drivetrain and seals have remained lubricated through regular operation. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the front brake discs, as the pads were replaced at the very end of their service life during the 2025 failure, which may have caused scoring or heat damage to the friction surfaces. The uneven wear noted on both front tyres indicates a potential misalignment issue that requires professional tracking adjustment to prevent premature replacement of new rubber. Additionally, the reported difficulty in operating the nearside door suggests a mechanical fault within the latch mechanism or door check strap, which should be tested for smooth operation to ensure it does not compromise security or emergency egress.
