2022 KIA Xceed 4 ISG 1.5L Petrol · ST22 CYK

The 2022 Kia Xceed 4 ISG presents a generally stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 9 March 2026 at 23,456 miles resulting in a pass. That test flagged three advisories: a split offside front wiper blade and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit, the offside at 1.7mm and the nearside at 2.1mm. These are minor consumable items rather than serious mechanical or structural defects. The previous test on 19 March 2025 at 18,149 miles also passed, though it recorded a binding offside rear service brake. Taken together, the record shows no recurring structural or safety-critical faults, but the pattern of front tyre wear and a binding rear brake suggests attentive monitoring is warranted. The vehicle has covered roughly 5,864 miles per year since registration, which is low for a four-year-old car. The mileage gap between the two recorded tests is 5,307 miles over twelve months, consistent with steady but light use. There are no suspicious odometer gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The sparse record, limited to two tests, makes long-term trend analysis difficult, but the available data shows no evidence of neglect or tampering. A buyer inspecting this Xceed in person should focus on the front tyres, which were borderline at the March 2026 test and are likely due for replacement soon. Uneven edge wear on the nearside front tyre points to possible tracking or suspension geometry issues, so a four-wheel alignment check is advisable. The binding offside rear brake flagged in 2025 warrants a physical inspection of the rear caliper slide pins, handbrake mechanism, and disc condition to confirm the issue has not progressed. The split wiper blade is a trivial fix but confirms that basic consumables have not been replaced proactively. Beyond these items, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, remains prudent given the vehicle's age and the limited MOT history available.
