2022 KIA Xceed 4 ISG 1.5L Petrol · LD22 NHP

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition following a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 January 2026 at 38,936 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified and that the vehicle has maintained a clean standard of operation since those repairs. At 38,936 miles over four years, the Xceed averages approximately 9,734 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a modern crossover. The data shows consistent operation between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, with 8,412 miles covered in that twelve-month period. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary, which can often lead to flat-spotted tyres or seized braking system components. The failure on 22 January 2025 highlights a previous lapse in basic consumable maintenance regarding tyre condition. The tester flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as being near the legal limit, alongside a structural failure on the nearside rear inner tyre. While the subsequent pass confirms these issues were addressed, a physical inspection should verify the remaining tread depth across all tyres and ensure no uneven wear persists, as the edge wear noted in the failure report can sometimes indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes.
