2021 KIA Xceed 3 ISG S-A 1.5L Petrol · LO21 AAB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on February 21, 2026, 53,959 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a significant failure in late 2024. While the most recent test indicates no defects, the history reveals a period of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care, suggesting that the previous owner addressed only the necessary faults to bring the car back to a passing standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical annual-use vehicle, averaging approximately 10,800 miles per year. However, a data discrepancy exists between the October 2024 test at 44,967 miles and the October 2025 test at 57,765 miles, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in a single year. This spike in usage correlates with the accelerated wear seen on consumable components, specifically the critical failure of the front braking system recorded during the 2024 inspection. A prospective buyer should focus specifically on the front braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 failure noted front brake pads below the 1.5mm limit and worn discs; although these were likely replaced, the buyer must verify the remaining pad thickness and check for signs of caliper binding or uneven wear. The engine malfunction indicator (MIL) failure in October 2024 also warrants a diagnostic scan to ensure no lingering fault codes remain in the ECU, as an inoperative light suggests a sensor issue was cleared but not functioning correctly. The 2025 advisory for a smearing windscreen wiper blade indicates a minor oversight in basic exterior maintenance. Since there are no recorded issues with structural corrosion or suspension geometry across the history, the chassis integrity appears stable for its age. The buyer should still check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure the high-mile year has not led to premature degradation beyond what is captured by a standard MOT tester.
