2022 KIA Xceed 2 ISG 1.0L Petrol · FG22 DNU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 29 April 2026 at 33,492 miles. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the most recent inspection recorded no defects. This follows a failure during the same test session on 29 April 2026, where the tester flagged several minor issues including a defective rear wiper blade, ineffective nearside and offside windscreen wipers, and headlamp aim that was set too low. These faults represent minor consumable and adjustment issues rather than significant mechanical or structural failures. The vehicle has covered 33,492 miles over approximately four years, averaging roughly 8,373 miles per year. This represents a consistent and typical usage pattern for a modern hatchback. The mileage progression from 29,308 miles in May 2025 to 33,492 miles in April 2026 shows an accumulation of 4,184 miles over the twelve-month period, which aligns with the overall average. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular usage. The May 2025 test at 29,308 miles highlighted a pattern of neglected tyre maintenance. The tester recorded four tyres worn close to the legal limit or showing excessive edge wear, alongside nails in both the nearside front and nearside rear tyres. This suggests the previous owner may have been reactive rather than proactive regarding consumable upkeep. While the 2026 test shows these issues have been addressed, a buyer should inspect the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they meet legal standards and are not showing signs of uneven wear. Given the previous advisories regarding tyre edge wear, a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the bushes and shock absorbers, is advisable to rule out alignment issues. The recent failure regarding headlamp aim also suggests that while the electrical systems are functional, the adjustment mechanisms should be checked for ease of use. No concerns regarding brakes, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity have been raised in the provided history, but a standard check of the braking system and any potential corrosion under the vehicle remains a prudent step for any used vehicle purchase.
