2017 KIA RIO 1.0L Petrol · AF17 DWX

The 2017 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2 March 2026 at 86,066 miles. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged across the five recorded tests. A failed test on 7 February 2026 at 85,880 miles shows no listed defects, indicating the failure likely stemmed from an administrative or non-mechanical reason later cleared before the March pass. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,563 miles, typical for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 41,358 miles in February 2023, 52,125 in February 2024, 66,006 in February 2025, then 85,880 by February 2026. That final jump of nearly 20,000 miles in twelve months is above the prior yearly average and suggests heavier use in the last year. The DVSA data itself is sparse, with every pass and the unexplained fail carrying zero recorded faults or advisories. Given the absence of flagged items, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion. The clean MOT history does not confirm these components are sound, only that the tester recorded no defects. A car covering 20,000 miles in its final year will have accelerated wear on consumables and drivetrain parts not always caught in a single test. The unexplained February 2026 failure warrants a request for the full DVSA failure reason from the seller. Otherwise the vehicle's documented history implies conscientious annual testing, though the recent mileage surge means tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals deserve verification before purchase.
