2022 KIA Xceed Connect ISG 1.0L Petrol · R40 PAU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test in July 2025, though the record indicates emerging mechanical concerns that require attention. While the car passed the inspection, the presence of advisories regarding suspension and tyres suggests the beginning of showing signs of age. The maintenance trend appears currently stable as the faults identified are isolated to specific wear and tear items rather than systemic mechanical failure or structural corrosion. The usage pattern is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,462 miles per year. This recorded mileage of 9,849 miles suggests the car has been used for short journeys or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, which aligns with the findings in the latest report. A physical inspection should focus on the offside front lower suspension arm bush, which was flagged for wear in the 2025 test. Although this did not result in a failure at the time, these bushes continue to deteriorate, affecting handling precision. The buyer must also examine the nearside front outer tyre for signs of cracking or cracking, a common issue with low-mileage vehicles that sit idle, as the rubber can perish despite having sufficient tread depth. Checking the brake discs for corrosion is also advisable given the infrequent use of the braking system.
