2022 KIA RIO 3 Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · AF71 XRK

The Kia Rio 3 MHEV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 March 2026 at 18,715 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed test with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 4 February 2025 examination at 13,646 miles passed cleanly. Across its three recorded tests the vehicle carries no advisories, no corrosion flags, and no recurring mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage sits at 18,715 against an approximate four-year age, equating to roughly 4,679 miles per year. This is low for the model year and suggests predominantly light use or extended standing periods. The gap between the February 2025 and March 2026 tests covers only 5,069 miles, a modest accumulation that aligns with the low annual average. The MOT data is sparse but entirely clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, brake discs, and coil springs given the low-mileage, possibly static storage pattern, which can accelerate perished rubbers and surface corrosion unseen by the tester. Verify the 14 March 2026 failure reason at the DVSA portal, as a no-defect fail often points to a documentation or identification mismatch rather than wear. Given the absence of advisories across all entries, the mechanical outlook is sound for its age. Prior owners appear to have maintained basic upkeep, though the sparse record limits insight into intermediate servicing between annual tests.
