2010 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · AD60 YHW

The 2010 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 26 November 2025 at 71,780 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though the prior day's failure at 71,747 miles listed no defects either, indicating an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five available tests from August 2023 to November 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust, or structure. Mileage sits at 71,780 against a 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,486 miles per year and confirming very light use. The records show only 1,266 miles added between the August 2024 test at 61,816 and the December 2024 pass at 62,513, then a larger 9,267-mile jump to the November 2025 figure. Such low annual coverage with a sparse but consistent MOT trail suggests the car spent periods stationary, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen despite clean test sheets. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the underbody and suspension bushes, as long idle spells at this age commonly hide structural rust and degraded mounts that a no-defect MOT will not capture. The tester recorded no brake disc wear, binding calipers, or coil spring fractures, yet the 15-year gap since manufacture means fatigue in these parts is possible without recent symptom. Verify the 25 November 2025 failure cause with the issuing garage, since DVSA data shows no defect logged on either side of that reversal.
