2011 KIA RIO1.5L Diesel

The 2011 Kia Rio shows a contradictory DVSA outcome at its latest MOT on 19 November 2021 at 106,611 miles, recording both a pass and a fail while listing no defects. Over the full supplied timeline from 7 May 2019 to that date, the maintenance trend remains stable because no tester flagged advisories, corrosion, binding calipers or suspension wear. The absence of any test for nearly five years relative to 16 July 2026 leaves present roadworthiness unverified. Odometer readings indicate usage marginally above the circa 7,100 miles per year average for a vehicle of this age. The inspection on 7 May 2019 captured 72,322 miles; by 10 November 2020 the distance reached 91,993 miles, a rise of 19,671 over eighteen months. A further 14,618 miles accrued by 19 November 2021. The sparse history skips the entire 2011–2019 period, so early drivetrain and chassis condition stays unknown. Prospective owners must scrutinise structural members, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions in person, as fifteen-year-old Kias commonly develop corrosion and rubber perishment even without recorded MOT advisories. The twin fail/pass entries on identical dates with zero faults point to administrative error rather than mechanical failure, but they require cross-checking against the V5C and official DVSA record. Given the extended lapse since testing, consumables such as tyres, wiper blades and fluid intervals will almost certainly need attention regardless of the clean historical sheet.
