KIA RIO2010 · 1.4L Petrol

This 2010 Kia Rio presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of recent inspections. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 at 99,447 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,215 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between 31 July 2023 and 19 July 2024, where the odometer rose from 81,213 to 96,454 miles. This period of higher activity did not result in any mechanical degradation or new advisories, which indicates the drivetrain and chassis handled the increased load without immediate failure. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding defects. While the record shows fails on 31 July 2023 and 19 July 2024, these were resolved on the same day with no specific faults listed in the provided data. This often suggests minor administrative errors or very quick fixes of consumable items. The absence of any mentioned corrosion, suspension bush wear, or brake disc deterioration is positive for a vehicle of this vintage. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for structural rust, as MOT testers sometimes overlook slow-developing corrosion on older chassis. Check the condition of the coil springs and rubber seals, as these naturally perish regardless of a clean MOT sheet. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean testing record.
