MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Kia Rio (FG08 USY) between March 2011 and July 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 24 July 2026 was a fail; the vehicle has not passed its last recorded MOT.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (17 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Tyres (11 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Windscreen (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 42 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Integral body structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced ”; “Nearside Rear Brake pipe excessively damaged (1.1.11 (c))”; “Horn not working (7.7 (a))”.
