2015 KIA RIO 1.4L Diesel · HU05 EVE

The most recent MOT, taken on 10 November 2025 at 141,336 miles, shows a clean pass with no defects recorded. That gives this 2015 Kia Rio an unbroken run of five consecutive passes stretching back to February 2022. The maintenance trend is stable and reassuring, with no advisories at any recent test to suggest a mechanical decline. Mileage sits at 141,336 for an eleven-year-old car, which works out at roughly 12,849 miles per year. That is above the average for a petrol supermini and indicates steady, frequent use rather than occasional short runs. The recorded intervals show consistent annual progression: 112,180 in February 2022, 123,378 in November 2022, 128,894 in November 2023, 133,716 in November 2024, and 141,336 in November 2025. There is no suspicious gap or sudden spike, and the roughly 10,000 to 11,000-mile annual increments suggest a genuine daily driver with no evidence of clocking or long periods off the road. The cleanliness of the history means there are no recurring faults to chase. No suspension bush wear, no binding calipers, no corrosion warnings, and no tyre tread concerns have been flagged. That said, the sheer annual mileage still puts strain on consumables and suspension components. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on brake discs and pads, coil springs, and lower suspension arm bushes, as high-mileage Kia Rios can develop wear in these areas even when the MOT record stays clean. Also check the clutch take-up point and gearbox feel, since those components endure heavy use at this mileage. Structural rust is not flagged, but a quick look at the sills and rear arches remains worthwhile on any eleven-year-old car.
