2021 KIA Proceed GT-Line ISG 1.5L Petrol · DV71 ODX

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its most recent MOT on 2025-05-08 at 43,156 miles. The prior test in 2024-11-05 at 36,037 miles also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No advisories or failures suggest the owner has addressed minor wear promptly, though the absence of recorded defects does not guarantee flawless condition. The lack of recurring issues implies no systemic mechanical or structural problems, but further inspection is advised to confirm integrity beyond MOT requirements. The mileage of 43,156 miles aligns with an average of 8,631 annual miles over five years, reflecting typical usage. The gap between the 2024-11-05 test (36,037 miles) and 2025-05-08 test (43,156 miles) covers seven months with a 7,119-mile increase, slightly above the annual average. This suggests moderate usage but no extreme wear patterns. The sparse MOT history lacks data on consumables like tyres or brake pads, which may require closer examination. The vehicle’s age and mileage do not inherently indicate excessive strain on components, but the limited records mean some aspects of its history remain unverified. A buyer should prioritise checking suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these are common issues in older vehicles. Inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion and verifying the condition of wheel bearings is also recommended, as these can degrade without MOT failures. Structural rust, particularly in underbody areas, should be assessed, as it may not appear in standard tests. While the MOT records show no red flags, the absence of detailed defect notes means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state.
