2020 KIA Ceed GT-Line Crdi ISG 1.6L Diesel · LG70 KUK

The 2020 Kia Ceed GT-Line CRDi ISG presents a mixed mechanical picture in its most recent MOT record. The September 2025 test at 43,494 miles passed, but the tester flagged corrosion on both rear brake discs and noted the nearside and offside rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit, both wearing on the inner edge. This combination of inner tyre wear and corroded rear discs suggests the rear suspension geometry may be out of specification, likely due to worn rear bushes or a misaligned axle setup. The maintenance trend is not stable. A clean pass in September 2023 at 20,666 miles gave way to front tyre wear advisories in September 2024 at 33,825 miles, and now rear tyre wear with disc corrosion in September 2025. The faults have migrated from the front axle to the rear, indicating a pattern of uneven tyre wear that has persisted across two consecutive tests without apparent correction. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable. The vehicle covered 13,159 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, then 9,669 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. At roughly 7,249 miles per year over six years, this is typical for its age and suggests regular use rather than prolonged standing. No gaps or sudden spikes in the record raise concerns about clocking or long-term neglect. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the rear suspension and braking system. The recurring inner edge wear on both axles points to excessive negative camber or worn trailing arm bushes and rear beam bushings. Have the rear suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs checked for deterioration. The corroded rear brake discs need close scrutiny for pitting depth and structural integrity, as corrosion beyond surface rust can lead to premature disc replacement. Inspect the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, particularly around mounting points and box sections. The diesel particulate filter and EGR system should be examined given the ISG mild-hybrid setup and the potential for clogging if the car has been used predominantly for short journeys.
