2021 KIA Xceed 4 ISG 1.5L Petrol · LC71 JVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards deferred component replacement. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 64,115 miles, the report introduced multiple advisories that were absent in the previous year. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a stage where significant wear-and-tear items are nearing their functional limit and require immediate attention to prevent future failures. The mileage profile reflects high annual usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its five-year life. Between the September 2024 test at 40,247 miles and the October 2025 test, the vehicle covered nearly 24,000 miles in just over 13 months. This rapid accumulation puts significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension assembly components, explaining the sudden appearance of worn bushes and tyre issues in the latest MOT record. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The tester specifically flagged wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins and bushes, alongside rear bushes beginning to split. These issues will likely lead to unpredictable handling and accelerated uneven tyre wear if not replaced. Furthermore, the record notes that front brake discs are worn and both front tyres are at the legal limit, suggesting a major service interval involving discs, pads, and rubber is imminent.
