2023 KIA Proceed GT ISG S-A 1.6L Petrol · CV72 USW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 23,627 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable for a vehicle of this age, although the latest test identifies the onset of wear in the front suspension and rear tyres. These are early-stage issues rather than critical failures, but they indicate the car is entering a phase where routine wear-and-tear components require attention. The recorded mileage of 23,627 miles is typical for a three-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,876 miles per year. This consistent usage pattern suggests the car has not suffered from the degradation associated with long periods of standing, nor has it been subjected to excessive wear from high-mileage commercial use. The data is sparse due to the vehicle's age, meaning there is a limited historical baseline to identify chronic faults. A buyer should specifically examine the front suspension during a physical inspection. The tester flagged a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush and noted that the lower arm rear bush bonding is slightly deteriorated. While these did not cause a failure, they are precursors to handling instability and will eventually require replacement. The rear tyres also require scrutiny. The April 2026 record notes uneven wear on the inner edges of both the offside and nearside rear tyres. This pattern often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension geometry. Checking the current tread depth and alignment will determine if the tyres need immediate replacement or if a professional four-wheel alignment is necessary to prevent premature wear.
