2021 KIA Ceed 1.5L Petrol · LM21 FTT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a recurring pattern of neglected consumable components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 45,830 miles passed without defects but introduced new advisories regarding both rear tyres. These tyres show signs of perishing and uneven tread lift on the inner edges, which suggests a persistent alignment issue or suspension geometry fault that has not been addressed since the 2024 inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-use profile, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 25,659 miles and the February 2025 test at 35,851 miles, the car covered exactly 10,192 miles. The subsequent year saw another 9,979 miles before the February 2026 test. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, yet the owner appears to react only to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer must personally inspect the suspension and wheel geometry to investigate the uneven tyre wear noted on the front tyres in 2024 and the rear tyres in 2026. Recurring inner edge wear often points to worn control arm bushes, shocks, or incorrect tracking which will continue to prematurely exhaust tyres. While the 2025 failure for a smeared wiper blade was a minor item, the consistent history of tyre-related advisories indicates a lack of attention to basic vehicle upkeep.
