2022 KIA Xceed 2 ISG 1.0L Petrol · RE22 URB

The most recent MOT on 30 May 2026 at 77,511 miles failed due to an inoperative offside registration plate lamp and excessively worn near‑ and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes, meaning the vehicle is presently not roadworthy until those suspension components are repaired or replaced; the earlier pass on the same date suggests a remedial attempt but the recurring suspension faults indicate a worsening trend rather than stability. The mileage pattern shows a rapid accumulation of roughly 20,871 miles between the 23 May 2025 test at 56,640 miles and the 30 May 2026 test at 77,511 miles, a rate far above the average 19,378 miles per year for a four‑year‑old model and signalling intensive use that likely accelerates wear on consumables and mechanical parts. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for play or cracking, verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, check that the registration plate lamp functions and that all lighting is operational, and examine the chassis rails and mounting points for any structural rust or damage indicated by the 0.1 (b) advisory on the rear plate. Additional inspection points include the tyre tread, which was noted as close to the legal limit in the 2025 test, suggesting replacement may be overdue, and the repeated suspension failures imply that previous owners may have deferred major maintenance, making prompt attention to these items essential for achieving a stable, safe condition.
