KIA RIO2017 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 October 2025 at 50,130 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous issues have been successfully addressed. While the history shows two failures in prior years, the current clean sheet suggests the vehicle is currently meeting all essential road safety standards without immediate mechanical concerns. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,570 miles per year to reach 50,130 miles. This low annual usage typically results in less wear on primary drivetrain components like the engine and gearbox. Between October 2023 at 37,852 miles and October 2024 at 43,437 miles, the vehicle covered 5,585 miles, showing a consistent and predictable usage pattern. However, low-mile vehicles can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car is not driven frequently. The recurring failures at 37,852 miles and 43,437 miles indicate that specific components required intervention to pass subsequent testing. Since the specific nature of those failures is not detailed in the summary, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure no further perished rubber remains. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, which often affect vehicles that sit for long periods between uses.
