KIA RIO2019 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend across its recorded history. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 25,158 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 25,151 miles. While the record shows no specific defects for that failure, the proximity suggests a minor adjustment, such as a bulb replacement or sensor check, was rectified immediately before the passing test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 14,336 miles and February 2026 at 25,158 miles, the car covered only 10,822 miles, indicating consistent low-intensity use. This low mileage typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to average-mileage vehicles. However, long periods of stationary time can sometimes cause rubber components like suspension bushes and seals to dry out or brake discs to develop corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than just travel distance. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or structural rust, the primary concern is checking for flat spots on the tyres or pitting on the brake rotors due to low usage. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, as age often affects rubber regardless of remaining tread depth. The clean technical history suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained and free from significant mechanical failures.
