2015 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · FN15 TFU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 75,777 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows three consecutive years of identical results without advisories, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have been maintained to an acceptable standard without recurring failures in the testing environment. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered 16,921 miles, showing a steady usage profile that avoids the strain of high-frequency commuting. This low-to-average mileage suggests that wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings should be minimal, though the age of the vehicle means rubber components and seals may be subject to time degradation regardless of distance driven. The only recorded faults in the history occurred in June 2021 at 58,856 miles, where the tester flagged a damaged offside mirror and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. The fact that these issues did not reappear in subsequent tests suggests the previous owner addressed the immediate wear and tear. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension alignment to ensure the inner-edge tyre wear noted in 2021 was not caused by persistent geometry issues. Given the clean records since then, checking the chassis for structural corrosion and verifying the brake fluid for moisture content are the remaining steps for a thorough evaluation.
