2020 KIA Proceed Gtline Lunar ED ISG SA 1.4L Petrol · SC10 BTC

The most recent MOT test conducted on 3 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend for this vehicle appears to be stable, as the owner has successfully addressed previous advisories. While there were concerns regarding tyre wear on the edges and stepped tread patterns in 2023 and 2025, the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the vehicle is being maintained in a roadworthy condition and that previous issues have been rectified. The recorded mileage of 30,273 miles over a six-year period indicates an average annual usage of approximately 5,046 miles. This is well below the typical UK average, suggesting the vehicle has seen light use or has been subject to long periods of standing. While this lower mileage reduces the mechanical wear on the engine and transmission, it introduces different risks, such as the potential for fluid degradation and the hardening of rubber components that are not regularly exercised. Due to the recurring advisories regarding tyre wear, you must pay close attention to the wheel alignment and suspension integrity. On your test drive, listen for any irregular road noise, humming, or vibrations that could indicate uneven tyre wear or suspension component issues. Inspect the tyres themselves for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which is common in low-mileage vehicles where the rubber ages faster than the tread wears down. It is also worth checking the suspension bushes and dampers for any signs of leaks or play that might have contributed to the uneven tyre wear noted in previous years. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to confirm that the vehicle has adhered to a time-based service schedule rather than just a mileage-based one. Check the service book for evidence of regular oil changes and brake fluid replacements, as these fluids can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle is not used frequently enough to clear surface oxidation. Finally, verify the condition of the 12V battery and the charging system, as infrequent driving can lead to a weakened battery or a lack of consistent charge.
