2019 Kia Xceed: petrol or diesel?
Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.
Petrol
88% pass first time (all 2019 cars: 85%)
Stands out: suspension arm bushes and joints 7.5×, brake discs 1.8×
2,524 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel
86% pass first time (all 2019 cars: 85%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
221 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›
Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
