KIA RIO2017 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2017 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 November 2025 at 74,499 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage has averaged close to 8,300 miles, consistent with typical use for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 39,190 miles in November 2021, 50,553 by November 2022, 59,113 in November 2023, 67,447 in November 2024, and 74,499 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear, and every test from 2021 onward passed with no advisories logged. The sparse but clean record gives no indication of deferred upkeep or neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, yet these items escape detection if not visibly failed on the day. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding or uneven wear leaves no paper trail when within limits. Examine underneath for structural rust around sills and suspension mounts, and confirm tyre tread depth and sidewall condition match the claimed low-wear profile. The documented history implies a careful prior owner, but a clean MOT is not a substitute for a hands-on appraisal of mechanical and structural condition.
