2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · EX15 AEE

The 2015 Kia Rio demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent April 2025 MOT at 98,586 miles. Previous tests from 2024, 2023, and 2022 also passed without issues, though a failed MOT on 26 May 2022 at 62,876 miles remains unexplained by the record. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in subsequent tests suggests any prior concerns were resolved. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern aligns with typical usage for its age, with no evidence of neglect in critical systems. Mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging 8,962 miles per year over 11 years. A notable jump from 78,135 miles (2024) to 98,586 miles (2025) indicates increased driving in the past year, which may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. However, the lack of advisories or failures in the latest test implies these elements remain within acceptable limits. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history further supports the vehicle’s overall integrity. A buyer should conduct a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the age and mileage. The brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding, as higher mileage can exacerbate these issues. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be checked for rust, as corrosion is a common concern in older vehicles. The MOT record provides no evidence of recurring faults, but physical verification of these components is essential to confirm the car’s continued roadworthiness.
