Our Verdict
Recommended with caution due to recent windscreen wiper failure, but overall good condition for a low-mileage 2023 model.
Prioritise checking the windscreen wiper mechanism and tyre condition, as these were flagged in past MOTs. Verify service records to confirm if the wiper issues were addressed. Negotiate slightly on price due to the recent failure, but the low mileage and recent MOT pass offset some concerns. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from repeated wiper-related repairs.
The 998cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely around 45-50 mpg. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it benefits from low road tax (£0 for 2026/27). Insurance groups for small KIA models typically range from 5-8, making premiums moderate. Maintenance costs are expected to be low, though the windscreen wiper replacement (approx £50-£100) could add to expenses. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.
Inspect the nearside windscreen wiper for proper function and replacement history, as it failed in the most recent MOT. Check the offside front tyre for the nail mentioned in the 2026 MOT and ensure it has been repaired. Examine the engine bay for signs of oil leaks or overheating, as these are common issues in small petrol engines. Review service records to confirm regular maintenance, particularly for the wiper system.
This 2023 KIA Rio has a clean MOT history aside from minor windscreen wiper issues. At 17,350 miles, it has below-average mileage for its age, though the recent failure highlights potential maintenance needs. No aggregate reliability data is available for the RIO model, so buyers should focus on this vehicle's specific history.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the KIA RIO model, so reliability must be assessed based on individual vehicle history rather than broader trends.
