2020 KIA Xceed 2 ISG 1.0L Petrol · NW12 AAA

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach to defects. The most recent test in January 2026 at 37,542 miles resulted in a failure due to a perished offside rear tyre and an incorrect headlamp aim. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the presence of these faults indicates that the owner only addresses issues once they trigger a failure rather than performing routine preventative checks between tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 18,746 miles in early 2023 to 30,530 miles in late 2024, followed by another 7,000-mile stretch to early 2026. This low annual mileage profile suggests that drivetrain and suspension components should have low mechanical wear, but it also means that rubber components like tyres are susceptible to age-related degradation rather than tread wear alone. A buyer should closely inspect the tyres and wheels, as the history shows recurring issues including an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit in late 2024 and a perished offside rear tyre in 2026. The cracking noted on the tyre suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to dry rot. Given the headlamp aim failure, verify that the light assemblies are securely mounted and not suffering from internal damage or loose housings, which would cause recurring misalignment.
