2007 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · FM07 ADX

The 2024-05-13 test passed, but advisory items such as slight track rod end play, worn and pitted brake discs, and thin brake pads persist, indicating a stable maintenance trend with recurring suspension and brake wear since 2022 and no new major failures in the latest test. The vehicle is 19 years old with 115,866 miles, averaging about 6,100 miles per year. Mileage rose from 59,055 in 2016 to 115,866 in 2024, an increase of 56,811 miles over 8 years, roughly 7,100 miles per year, higher than the typical 6,098 miles per year. Notable gaps are minimal, though the jump from 82,454 miles in 2019 to 89,726 miles in 2020 shows a 7,272‑mile increase in one year, indicating a period of more intensive use. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes and joints for the recurring track rod end play noted in 2023 and 2024, test for binding or leaking rear shock absorbers, verify brake disc thickness and pad condition, examine the offside front subframe mounting for rust penetration, and assess tyre wear patterns and alignment, as these recurring faults point to potential handling and structural risks.
