2022 Kia ProCeed — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 2,095 MOT tests, the 2022 Kia ProCeed recorded a 90.4% pass rate. All cars of a similar age fail 8.0% of the time, so this is 1.6pp worse than the group it competes with. Failures cluster in tyres, visibility and brakes.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (5.5%) and visibility (2.5%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, brake pads and wipers — tread depth alone was recorded 47 times.
A 60-90k example is materially riskier than a 0-30k one: 14.0% versus 7.0%.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 20.4% of tests without failing them.

Top advisory categories
Advisories aren't failures, but they flag work likely needed soon — useful when budgeting.
| # | Category | % of tests with advisory | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyres | 20.4% | 428 |
| 2 | Brakes | 15.7% | 329 |

| 5 | Visibility | 2.4% | 50 |
| 6 | Road wheels | 1.6% | 34 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 1,093 | 7.0% |
| 30-60k | 890 | 12.4% |
| 60-90k | 100 | 14.0% |
Failure rate by age
Trend over time
| Dataset year | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 139 | 14.4% |
| 2025 | 1,925 | 9.4% |
What to check before buying a 2022 ProCeed
On a 2022 ProCeed, tyres is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 5.5% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Tyres (5.5% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Visibility (2.5% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Brakes (2.0% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
