KIA RIO2016 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable and consistent maintenance profile according to the official MOT history. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 32,257 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean testing sequence through 2024 and 2023, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of roadworthiness without recurring mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,226 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 21,015 miles in July 2022 to 32,257 miles in July 2025. While the low annual mileage suggests light usage, such patterns can sometimes lead to issues with rubber components or fluid degradation due to infrequent operation. The record shows a single failure in July 2022 at 21,015 miles, but the vehicle passed immediately following that test, suggesting the issue was a minor rectification rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, there are no specific advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions to flag. However, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the vehicle to check for signs of age-related wear that MOT testing might miss. Focus on the condition of the tyres, wiper blades, and the underside of the chassis to check for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars that sit for long periods can develop oxidation on suspension components or brake calipers. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories for the last three years indicates a well-maintained vehicle. A physical check of the service history is recommended to confirm that oil changes and fluid flushes have been carried out regularly, ensuring the low mileage has not resulted in neglected maintenance.
