2010 KIA RIO 1 1.4L Petrol · CFZ 2427

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2024 at 98 816 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend and current roadworthiness. The preceding tests in October 2023 (93 874 miles) and May 2022 (87 427 miles) also returned clean results, showing consistent compliance over the last three years. No recurring faults appear in the record, and the absence of advisories suggests the car has been kept within basic service parameters. Mileage accumulation averages roughly 6 176 miles per year, which is typical for a 16‑year‑old model. The gap between the May 2022 test and the October 2023 test spans about 17 months, during which the odometer rose 5 553 miles—approximately 380 miles per month, a lower rate than the long‑term average. The final interval from October 2023 to November 2024 added 4 942 miles in just over a year, again reflecting reduced usage. The pattern points to periods of lighter duty rather than accelerated wear. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the high‑mileage vehicle for wear on critical components. Check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, test for binding calipers, and assess the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or deterioration. Examine steering joints and rack for play, inspect tyres for tread depth and uneven wear, and look for exhaust corrosion or structural rust around wheel arches and underbody panels. Verify that service records exist for oil changes and filter replacements, as the mileage level demands thorough verification of routine maintenance.
