2022 KIA Xceed 2 ISG 1.0L Petrol · SH22 YEC

The 2026‑05‑26 MOT confirms that the 2022 Kia Xceed 2 ISG remains roadworthy, with only a tyre wear advisory recorded at 21,678 miles. The previous May 2025 test showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record; the recent advisory reflects a minor consumable issue rather than a developing mechanical fault. At four years of age, the recorded mileage of 21,678 equates to roughly 5,420 miles per year, a figure below the typical usage for a vehicle of this vintage. The gap between the May 2025 test at 16,847 miles and the May 2026 test at 21,678 miles represents an accumulation of 4,831 miles in about eleven months, suggesting regular but not excessive use; the low overall mileage may indicate periods of standing, yet the steady increase points to consistent operation rather than long idle spells. A buyer should therefore inspect the front tyres for the reported edge wear on both inner edges, which may indicate mis‑aligned suspension bushes or uneven loading, and verify the condition of the rear suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear or binding. The previous test recorded no brake defects, but the tyre wear pattern warrants a close check of brake discs and calipers for binding, especially on the rear axle. Also, the vehicle should be examined for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis rails, and the exhaust system should be tested for emissions compliance, as the 2026 test recorded a pass with no emissions defects. Overall, the maintenance record shows a stable trend with a single minor advisory; the low mileage does not mask the need for a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension, braking and structural components before purchase.
