2016 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · HK66 ACY

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 January 2026 at 71,125 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single advisory or failure, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance and mechanical reliability. The mileage is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,112 miles per year. Usage patterns have remained steady, though there was a slight increase in annual distance between January 2025 and January 2026, where the odometer rose by 8,024 miles. Earlier intervals, such as the 6,311-mile increase between January 2022 and January 2023, show the car has been used regularly rather than left to stand. Because the MOT history is devoid of recurring faults, there are no specific mechanical red flags regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. The absence of advisories over five years is rare and suggests the previous owner addressed wear items before they became testable defects. A physical inspection should still focus on general consumables that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach critical limits. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Given the vehicle's age, a technician should verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals to ensure the engine maintenance matches the clean MOT record.
