2017 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · DC66 LUD

The 2017 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 June 2025 at 83,174 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. The owner cleared the test cleanly after a same-week failure on 13 June 2025 at 83,172 miles that also logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,242 miles, typical for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 62,917 miles at the June 2023 test, rising to 73,453 miles by July 2024 and 83,174 miles by June 2025. That equates to about 10,000 miles per year across the logged period, a consistent and unremarkable accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse, with only four tests and two failures logged, both failures carrying zero recorded defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as the MOT record does not capture wear below failure thresholds. The twin June 2025 entries two days apart with no defects suggest the earlier failure may have involved a documentation error or minor presentation fault corrected before retest. No structural corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or binding calipers appear in the history. Given the clean pass and ordinary mileage, the Rio shows signs of basic but sufficient upkeep. The absence of advisories across three straight passes implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were within limits at test. Verify service history and check for intermittent electrical or underbody rust not visible to the MOT tester.
