2011 KIA Proceed 1.6L Diesel · LC61 HWM

The Kia Proceed presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 December 2023 at 73,948 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 28 January 2022 at 67,822 miles shows no advisories or escalating faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 73,948 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 4,930 miles per year. The history shows a long gap between the October 2020 tests at 49,745 and 49,746 miles and the January 2022 tests at 66,006 and 67,822 miles, implying around 17,000 miles accrued in just over a year after a quiet period. Two failed tests in 2020 and 2022 were logged with no defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection, though the buyer should clarify those entries with DVSA. With no advisories or corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions faults flagged in any test, the record implies consistent basic upkeep and no recurring mechanical trend. A low-mileage, 15-year-old vehicle of this profile still warrants a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for hidden rust, plus checks on perished suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake disc condition from standing. Given the sparse but clean MOT data, the buyer should commission an independent mechanical inspection before purchase to confirm the absence of latent faults not captured by the annual test.
