2021 KIA Xceed 4 ISG S-A 1.5L Petrol · YT71 FFW

The vehicle presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 19,112 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. An earlier failure recorded on the same day at 19,108 miles flagged severely weakened and surface-corroded inner brake discs on both rear sides, along with an offside front outer brake pad worn below the 1.5 mm minimum. The subsequent clean pass indicates these braking components were replaced or rectified promptly, suggesting the previous owner addressed a significant mechanical concern rather than ignoring it. The mileage profile is notably low. At roughly 3,822 miles per year over five years, this is well below the UK average. The record shows the car covered approximately 4,408 miles between the September 2024 test at 14,704 miles and the September 2025 test at 19,112 miles, indicating a modest but consistent uptick in annual use during its most recent year. The history is sparse, with only two test events recorded, leaving limited data to establish long-term servicing habits beyond the MOT itself. Buyers should still examine the braking system closely during any in-person inspection. Severely corroded inner discs typically arise from prolonged standing or short-trip use, which aligns with the low-mileage profile. Check the condition of the replacement discs and pads for even wear, and verify that the rear calipers are not binding, as seized sliders are a common root cause of uneven inner disc corrosion. Inspect the underside for surface rust on subframes and suspension components, which can accelerate on vehicles that spend extended periods stationary. The single advisory from September 2024 regarding a defective offside wiper blade was minor and consumable in nature, but confirming the current wiper condition and washer operation remains a sensible basic check.
