2010 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · FN60 ORP

The 2010 Kia Rio passed its most recent MOT on 5 November 2021 at 91,806 miles with no defects recorded, leaving the vehicle's maintenance trend broadly stable on paper at the point of its last official test. The record shows no recurring advisories or progressive mechanical faults across the supplied entries, though the absence of tests beyond late 2021 means the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this history alone. The odometer stood at 91,806 miles during the November 2021 pass, equating to roughly 5,738 miles per year against the car's sixteen-year age, a low annual figure for a supermini of this era. A failed test on 27 October 2021 at 91,709 miles preceded the pass eight days later, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects for either outcome, suggesting the failure may have involved administrative or unrecorded minor correction rather than substantive mechanical fault. The tight 97-mile gap between the two tests indicates the car was barely driven in that window and has likely seen limited use or prolonged storage since. Given the sparse history and clean final pass, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with a five-year test gap raises the risk of perished rubber components, degraded suspension bushes, and corrosion to structural underbody points that a stationary car develops unnoticed. Verify the brake discs, calipers, and handbrake operation for binding or seizing after the long lay-up, and check exhaust emissions and tyre condition for age-related cracking. The previous owner kept recorded faults minimal, but the missing MOT cover since 2021 means consumable and structural condition is now unknown without a physical examination.
