MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

15 MOT tests are recorded for this 2012 Kia Rio (AJ12 ENT) between May 2015 and November 2024.

The record contains 10 passes and 5 failures.

The most recent test on 22 November 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 5 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (12 issues), Windscreen (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Lighting (5 issues), Suspension (3 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Stop lamp(s) not working (4.3.1 (a) (ii))”; “Exhaust emissions exceed manufacturer's specified limit (8.2.2.2 (a))”; “Nearside Front Lower Suspension arm ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”.
