2023 KIA Xceed 3 Phev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH23 XWZ

The Kia XCeed 3 PHEV S-A presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 74,127 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or mechanical faults across the vehicle's history. The single failure on 24 January 2025 at 46,446 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical concern. Mileage accumulation is high for a vehicle of this age. From the 29 July 2024 test at 32,922 miles, the car covered 13,524 miles by the January 2025 tests and then 18,183 miles to July 2025 at 64,629 miles, averaging roughly 24,700 miles per year. The 9,498-mile gap between July and January 2025 tests is unusually short, suggesting two tests were booked close together, while the broader pattern reflects consistent heavy use across motorway or commuter cycles rather than long periods standing. Given the clean MOT record with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emission faults, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable wear items. High annual mileage at this level places accelerated demand on tyre tread, brake pad thickness, and hybrid drivetrain coolant condition, none of which the MOT advisories would capture once within limits. The absence of recurring defects implies the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to test standard, though the high mileage means in-service wear on the PHEV battery and clutch assembly warrants a diagnostic scan. No structural integrity risks appear in the official record to date.
