2016 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · AP16 DLD

The vehicle presents as a generally roadworthy asset with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 2 December 2025 at 49,619 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components currently meet the required standard. This follows a period of clean passes in the previous three years, suggesting the owner has maintained the vehicle to avoid significant mechanical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-interval usage, with only 1,129 miles driven between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests, and 908 miles in the year preceding that. This low annual annual mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though infrequent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based suspension bushes and brake components due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay specific attention to the braking system based on the December 2024 test at 48,490 miles, which flagged rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, surface pitting on low-mileage cars often indicates moisture corrosion from infrequent use. An in-person inspection should verify that these discs have since been replaced or that the calipers are not seizing. Given the age of the car despite the low mileage, a check for structural corrosion on the underbody and exhaust system is also advisable, as low mileage does not prevent environmental rust over a decade.
