2013 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · CK63 JCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 30 August 2025 at 90,122 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This followed a curious failure exactly one day prior at 90,112 miles, though the lack of recorded defects on that failure report suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor trip that was rectified immediately prior to the retest, rather than a significant mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 7,912 miles, maintaining a steady usage rate of roughly 2,600 miles per year during that period. This low indicates regular but light use, which generally benefits components like the engine and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. The lack of large gaps in mileage suggests the car has not sat stationary for extended periods that might cause seal failure or corrosion. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or advisories over the last four years, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should specifically check for surface corrosion on the structural sills and wheel arches, as these areas are prone to rust regardless of mileage. Given the age, the rubber components in the suspension should be examined for perished cracking, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from dry rot over a decade. The clean history suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a functional standard.
