2011 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · AF61 MHL

The 2011 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 30 May 2025 at 45,103 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The latest test followed an immediate failure on the same date at 45,100 miles where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes in 2024 and 2023 also carried no advisories, indicating no escalating wear pattern over the three-year span. Recorded mileage sits at 45,103 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 3,007 miles per year. The car covered 4,510 miles between June 2023 (36,247) and May 2024 (40,757), then 4,346 miles to May 2025 (45,103), showing consistent low annual use with no sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low mileage cars often develop perished rubber components and seized calipers through inactivity rather than wear. The repeated same-day fail-pass entries in 2024 and 2025 warrant confirmation that no outstanding recall or plate mismatch exists on the V5C. Check tyre sidewall condition and brake binding during a road test, as these faults need not appear on a clean MOT if within tolerance at test time. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the sparse record offers limited insight into consumable replacement cycles.
