2022 KIA Ceed GT-Line ISG 1.5L Petrol · FN22 HFH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the early stages of suspension component degradation. While the car passed its most February 2026 test at 17,857 miles, the tester identified wear on the nearside front lower suspension arm pin bush and the rear suspension arm bush. These issues did not meet the threshold for a failure but indicate that the rubber components are beginning to lose their optimal service life despite the vehicle's low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,464 miles per year. Between the February 2025 test at 13,589 miles and the February 2026 test, the car covered only 4,268 miles. This consistent pattern suggests short-distance usage. However, low mileage can sometimes lead to the accelerated drying of rubber bushings and seals due to inactivity, which likely explains the-related wear noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to verify the extent of the wear on the nearside arm bush. They should check for any excessive play in the control arms that could lead to steering instability or uneven tyre wear. Given the low annual mileage, it is also prudent to inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or light pitting, as vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from oxidation on the braking components.
