2021 KIA Proceed GT-Line ISG 1.5L Petrol · DY71 VMU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by two consecutive clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 23 October 2025 at 76,243 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets DVSA safety and emissions requirements without immediate mechanical failure during the testing period. The mileage data reflects high-intensity usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,200 miles per annum. Between the 7 November 2024 test at 47,245 miles and the October 2025 test, the car covered 28,998 miles in just under eleven months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent motorway-style driving, which typically results in less clutch and brake wear compared to short city trips but places significantly higher loads on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Particular attention should be paid to signs of worn suspension bushes or sagging coil springs, which often degrade after 70,000 miles. The brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning or uneven wear, as the high mileage suggests frequent use of these consumables. Additionally, verifying the underbody for any early signs of corrosion is prudent to ensure the high usage hasn't exposed the chassis to harsh environmental conditions.
