KIA RIO2008 · 1.4L Petrol

The 2008 Kia Rio presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 October 2024 at 100,099 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with the vehicle clearing every test from 2022 onward after administrative or duplicate failures that carried no listed mechanical faults. No recurring advisories or progressive deterioration appear in the DVSA data. Recorded mileage sits at 100,099 against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to a low average of roughly 5,561 miles per year. The tester logged 78,195 miles on 1 October 2022, then 84,491 at the October 2023 tests, and 100,099 by October 2024. That shows a clear step-up in use over the final year, adding nearly 15,600 miles where prior annual gains were under 6,500. The 2022 and 2023 failure entries share identical dates with passes and record no defects, indicating clerical duplication rather than mechanical rejection. Given the clean test sheet, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not captured by pass criteria. Low annual mileage combined with the 2024 usage surge suggests the car may have stood idle for long periods, raising the risk of perished rubber components and corrosion on structural underbody points. Verify the actual body condition and exhaust emissions in person. The absence of advisories across four years does not preclude hidden rust or worn consumables such as tyres and wiper blades that fall within tolerance on the day of testing.
