2021 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · CU21 VBP

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status following its most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 39,854 miles, which recorded no defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years. The record shows a transition from multiple tyre-related failures and advisories to a completely clear certificate, suggesting that previous consumable issues have been addressed. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical private use pattern. The vehicle covered 7,995 miles between May 2025 and May 2026, and 7,995 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This steady progression of approximately 8,000 miles per annum indicates regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre wear patterns. The May 2025 test flagged thin front brake pads, and the 2024 tests highlighted significant issues with tyre tread depth and uneven edge wear. While the 2026 test was clear, the history of uneven tyre wear suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Checking the condition of suspension bushes and tracking would be a prudent step to ensure the previous edge-wear issues do not recur. The recent absence of advisories indicates that the owner has likely replaced the worn tyres and brake pads noted in the 2024 and 2025 inspections. However, verifying the remaining life of the current brake pads and checking for any signs of unevenness in the tyre tread across all four wheels remains necessary to confirm the vehicle's ongoing mechanical stability.
