2021 KIA Xceed 4 ISG S-A 1.5L Petrol · HT21 LZF

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 4 June 2026 at 20,149 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test confirms all major structural, mechanical, and emissions components met DVSA roadworthiness standards on the day of inspection. This clean result follows a pattern of consistent annual testing, with no recurring serious faults, indicating the previous owner addressed minor issues promptly rather than allowing them to escalate. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021-registered vehicle, averaging approximately 4,030 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 13,494 miles and the June 2025 test at 16,993 miles, the vehicle covered 3,499 miles in twelve months. The subsequent year saw a similar increment of 3,156 miles, reaching 20,149 miles by June 2026. This steady, low-mileage accumulation suggests regular but light use rather than prolonged standing, which reduces the risk of deterioration from inactivity such as flat-spotted tyres, seized brakes, or fuel system issues. The 2025 test recorded two minor advisories: a front brake disc described as worn but not excessively, and a slightly damaged nearside front tyre. Both were rectified before the 2026 test, as neither appeared in the subsequent record. The worn disc was a marginal observation rather than a failure, suggesting the braking system was operating within acceptable tolerances but approaching a monitoring threshold. The tyre damage advisory is common on lightly used vehicles that may encounter kerb strikes or road debris during infrequent driving. A buyer should still inspect the front brake discs and pads in person, checking for lipping, scoring, or uneven wear that could indicate a binding caliper or delayed replacement after the 2025 advisory. The nearside sidewall should be examined for any residual damage or bulging, even though the 2026 pass confirms it was replaced. Given the low mileage, suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers may show less wear than average, but should be checked for perishing from age rather than use. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored outdoors during its periods of low use.
