2015 KIA RIO 1.4L Diesel · EX15 ABF

The 2015 KIA Rio presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-24 at 84,824 miles recording a pass and no defects. Earlier tests from 2024 to 2025 show mixed outcomes, including a failed test on 2025-03-26 at 81,778 miles and another on 2024-03-27 at 79,473 miles, though neither recorded specific defects. This suggests intermittent issues that were resolved prior to the latest successful test. The absence of recorded faults in the most recent assessment indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no immediate mechanical or structural risks identified. The mileage of 84,824 miles over 11 years aligns with average annual usage of 7,711 miles, reflecting typical wear for the model’s age. The MOT history shows consistent testing intervals, with no significant gaps exceeding 12 months. The 2024-03-28 pass at 79,473 miles and subsequent 2025-03-26 failure at 81,778 miles suggest minor maintenance or repair activity, though no defects were logged. This pattern implies the vehicle has been regularly serviced, with issues addressed before retesting. The lack of recurring faults in the latest records further supports a stable maintenance trajectory. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. While no structural corrosion or brake-related defects were noted, the history of failed tests without recorded issues warrants scrutiny of brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions during an in-person inspection. The absence of tyre tread or wiper blade advisories in the records is positive, but a physical check of these consumables is recommended to confirm their remaining service life. Overall, the MOT data indicates a well-maintained vehicle, but mechanical integrity should be confirmed by a qualified technician.
