Kia ProCeed 2008: MOT failure rate for its age

48.0% of 398 MOT tests of the Kia ProCeed first registered in 2008 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 97.3 (95% CI 83.5–111.1; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2008 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.

How does the 2008 Kia ProCeed fail at each age?

Cars built in 2008 were tested at ages 11 to 16 between 2019 and 2024. Each row compares their first-time failure share with what this model normally shows at that age, after allowing for the overall failure level of each test year.
