2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · PF15 AEA

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 58,302 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows failures on 8 July 2025 and 7 July 2023, these were resolved on the same day, suggesting minor issues were rectified immediately to secure the certificate. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 5,300 miles per year. Between 7 July 2023 and 8 July 2025, the vehicle covered 10,563 miles, indicating consistent but light usage. The lack of any recorded advisories or defects across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests a vehicle that has been well preserved or lightly stressed. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres, or seized brake calipers due to inactivity. I recommend a physical inspection of the brake discs for surface corrosion and a check of the suspension bushes for dryness or cracking. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the history is a positive indicator. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and coolant were changed at regular intervals despite the low annual mileage, as long-term oil degradation can affect internal engine health.
