2015 KIA RIO1.1L Diesel

This Kia Rio presents a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance profile. The most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 84,194 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The absence of any advisories across the last four years indicates a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eleven year old vehicle. Between 11 November 2022 at 67,921 miles and 11 November 2025 at 84,194 miles, the car covered 16,273 miles. This averages to roughly 5,424 miles per year over the last three years, which is slightly lower than the overall lifetime average of 7,654 miles per year. Such steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps preserve rubber components and seals. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions since 2022. This lack of data means the record does not highlight any specific mechanical weaknesses. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for surface corrosion, as the MOT test does not always capture early-stage rust on non-structural components. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads during a physical viewing. Because the DVSA record shows no advisories for these consumables, it is possible they are nearing the end of their service life without yet reaching the legal limit. Verifying the service history for oil changes and filter replacements will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean MOT record.
