2022 KIA Xceed 3 Phev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RO22 NFC

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-03-12 MOT at 24,115 miles. The prior 2025-03-12 test at 16,424 miles also showed no issues, confirming a consistent maintenance pattern over the past 12 months. No advisories or failures indicate immediate mechanical concerns, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within the observed timeframe. The mileage progression shows a sharp increase from 16,424 to 24,115 miles over 12 months, exceeding the average annual figure of 6,029 miles. This suggests higher-than-expected usage, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. However, the absence of defects in both tests implies that maintenance has kept pace with this activity. The sparse MOT history, limited to two entries, offers limited insight into long-term trends but does not raise immediate red flags. A physical inspection should focus on components likely affected by increased mileage, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for signs of wear. The PHEV drivetrain and battery system, not assessed in MOT tests, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or electrical faults. Additionally, check for structural rust, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure, and verify that the exhaust emissions system complies with current standards. While the MOT record is clean, these elements require hands-on evaluation to confirm continued roadworthiness.
