2014 KIA PROCEED1.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the August 2025 test at 155,516 miles, where the tester issued a pass after an initial same-day failure with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history, with every annual test resulting in a clean pass or a no-defect failure reversal. No advisories or mechanical faults appear on the DVSA record, suggesting the car has not accumulated flagged wear in suspension, brakes, or structural integrity during this period. Mileage sat at 137,384 in September 2023, rose to 148,510 by September 2024, and reached 155,516 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 7,000 miles per year, below the implied 12,960 annual average for its age. The record is sparse, showing only three test years with no intermediate entries, so long gaps between documented inspections limit insight into mid-term consumable condition. High total mileage of 155,516 on a 2014 chassis still places above-typical wear potential on driveline and running gear. A buyer should physically verify suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as these components face load at this mileage despite the absence of recorded advisories. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern at 148,510 and 155,516 miles implies administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical defect, but the tester logged no binding calipers or corrosion to pursue. Inspect underneath for structural rust and check exhaust emissions against age-related degradation before purchase. Given the clean defect history, previous owners likely kept the car to minimum test standards without neglected tyre or wiper replacements appearing on record. Confirm service intervals independently, since MOT clearance alone does not evidence drivetrain maintenance at 155,516 miles.
