2021 KIA Xceed 3 ISG S-A 1.5L Petrol · LB71 OCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent test on October 14 2025 at 29,335 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional horn, poor headlight alignment, and body damage. While the vehicle passed just three miles later on the same day, the presence of advisories for pitted and scored rear brake discs suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they are forced by a test failure. At 29,338 miles, the Kia Xceed shows low annual mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,868 miles per year. The interval between the October 2024 test at 23,802 miles and the October 2025 test shows consistent usage of roughly 5,500 miles. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but it can also lead to accelerated corrosion on brake components and flat spotting if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between these infrequent annual inspections. A buyer must inspect the rear braking system closely, as the October 2025 record flagged both rear discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This condition often stems from moisture-related low-mileage use but can lead to binding calipers if left untreated. The nearside front damage to the inner wing and wing also requires a physical check to ensure there is no hidden structural deformation or compromised suspension geometry that the MOT tester did not capture. Additionally, verify that the headlamp assembly is properly secured and aligned correctly, as the previous failure indicated the mounting was loose.
