2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · AF15 MTE

The 2015 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 32,211 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 17 May 2024 at 29,539 miles confirms no ongoing mechanical concerns across the visible history. Mileage stands low for an eleven year old car. The record shows 22,745 miles in May 2022, rising to 25,571 by May 2023, 29,539 by May 2024, and 32,211 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 2,900 miles per year, indicating light use with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, showing only a failed test on 16 May 2024 at 29,539 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the next day, which suggests an administrative or unrecorded minor rectification rather than a serious fault. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age related corrosion around structural mountings and suspension bushes, as low mileage cars left standing often develop underbody rust unseen by the tester. The brake discs and calipers warrant a check for binding or uneven wear from intermittent use. Tyres and wiper blades may have perished through lack of use despite showing no MOT advisories. Given the clean record, no recurring mechanical trend is evident, but a pre purchase inspection remains sensible on a car of this age.
