KIA RIO2018 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2018 Kia Rio presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 12 October 2022 at 40,215 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 14 October 2021 at 28,268 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no advisories or failures across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards over this period. Recorded mileage sits at 40,215 against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,027 miles per year. The jump from 28,268 miles in October 2021 to 40,215 miles in October 2022 accounts for 11,947 miles in a single year, well above the annual average and suggesting a period of heavier use than the broader trend implies. Since the final recorded test predates today's date of 8 July 2026 by over three and a half years, the MOT data is stale; no evidence exists of continued road use or standing condition beyond that point. With two consecutive passes and zero advisories, the history reveals no recurring mechanical or structural faults such as worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or binding brake calipers. A clean record of this sort typically reflects basic but adequate upkeep by previous keepers, though the absence of minor consumable flags like tyre tread or wiper wear across both tests may simply mean those items stayed within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. The stale test date means brake discs, coil springs, and underbody corrosion could have developed unseen issues during standing. Verify the odometer against actual condition, and confirm the car has not been idle long enough to degrade fluids, tyres, or the exhaust system.
