2020 KIA Proceed GT-Line ISG S-A 1.4L Petrol · HJ20 ZTC

The vehicle presents a stable but declining maintenance trend regarding consumable components. While the June 2026 test at 74,685 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged both nearside and offside rear tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the inside edges. This follows a similar pattern from the July 2024 test at 50,040 miles, where both front tyres also exhibited edge wear. The absence of defects in the July 2025 test at 61,944 miles suggests a period of good upkeep, but the most recent results indicate a return to neglecting tyre maintenance. The mileage accumulation is high for a 2020 model, averaging approximately 12,448 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage, with the vehicle covering roughly 12,500 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and a more significant jump of 12,741 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This steady, high-frequency usage places increased demand on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. The recurring advisory for tyres worn on the inside edges is a specific mechanical indicator. This pattern typically points to underlying suspension geometry issues, such as misaligned camber or worn suspension bushes, rather than simple tread depletion. A prospective buyer should inspect the front and rear suspension assemblies, specifically checking for play in the wishbones and the condition of the shock absorbers. Given the high mileage and the specific nature of the tyre wear, a professional four-wheel alignment check is recommended to prevent premature replacement of new tyres. Beyond the tyres, the history is relatively clean regarding structural integrity and braking systems. The single failure in June 2023 at 37,583 miles was a minor issue involving a windscreen wiper, which does not suggest a pattern of mechanical neglect. However, the high mileage means the buyer should verify the service history for oil changes and brake component wear, as the current records focus primarily on tyres and wipers.
