2013 KIA RIO 1.4L Diesel · CV62 XNP

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 24 October 2025 at 123,105 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of successful tests over the last few years, suggesting the car is mechanically sound and meeting basic legal requirements. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,470 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 105,999 miles and the October 2025 test at 123,105 miles, the car covered 17,106 miles over approximately 21 months. This indicates regular, steady use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber seals and battery health. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories or specific defects across multiple years. While the records show failures on 22 January 2024 and 23 October 2025, these were resolved immediately on the same day. The absence of flagged issues regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions suggests a well-maintained example or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as MOT testers sometimes overlook early surface rust on older chassis. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads manually since the record provides no data on consumable wear. Given the mileage exceeds 120,000, verifying the service history for timing belt or chain maintenance and clutch wear is advisable to ensure long-term reliability.
