2014 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · KY58 RAE

The 2026‑04‑04 MOT at 92,458 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness. The sequence of tests shows a stable maintenance pattern, with each failure at 92,444 and 91,672 miles yielding no recorded defects, and subsequent passes at 91,712 and 88,075 miles indicating no progressive deterioration. Mileage accumulation averages about 3,600 miles per year between the 2024‑03‑28 test at 88,075 miles and the 2026‑04‑04 test, a rate consistent with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle and shows no evidence of long standing periods or abrupt mileage spikes. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the brake discs for scoring, and look for corrosion on structural members and the exhaust system, as these components are the most likely to manifest the intermittent issues suggested by the earlier failures. Finally, verify that any previous advisories were fully rectified and confirm that the vehicle’s structural integrity remains sound, since the MOT record provides no indication of worsening mechanical condition despite the repeated test cycles.
