2023 KIA Ceed 1.5L Petrol · MA23 PUX

The most recent MOT from May 2026 shows that the vehicle initially failed before passing. The failure was caused by significant tyre defects, specifically a cut reaching the cords and a structural lump on the nearside rear tyre, alongside a nail in the offside rear tyre. The mechanical pattern indicates wear on consumables. While the tyre issues were addressed to achieve the pass, the MOT also noted that the front brake discs are worn, showing a lip on both discs. This suggests a trend of standard wear and tear that is progressing. With 37,817 miles covered in approximately three years, the vehicle has been driven roughly 12,600 miles per year. This is considered high mileage for its age, which likely contributes to the accelerated wear seen on components such as the tyres and brake discs. When inspecting the car in person, you should first check the condition and brand of all four tyres to ensure the recent repairs or replacements were carried out properly. You should also closely examine the front brake discs and pads for the extent of the wear noted in the MOT advisory.
