AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2023 Kia Ceed failed its MOT on May 9th 2026 at 68,040 miles due to dangerous tyre conditions including exposed ply/cords on the offside rear tyre. It passed three days later on May 12th at 68,049 miles after repairs. The vehicle shows a concerning pattern of multiple brake component failures and tyre wear issues. Both rear brake discs were worn, pitted, and scored while rear pads were wearing thin. The front offside tyre was worn close to legal limits on the edge during both tests. This trend is clearly worsening. The car developed dangerous tyre failure between the two MOTs, with the nearside rear also showing edge wear. Oil leaks are present but described as non-excessive. The 68,049 miles over three years represents very high usage at 22,683 miles annually. This heavy use explains the rapid deterioration of brake components and tyres.
