2013 KIA RIO 2 1.2L Petrol · FX63 TWM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 10 November 2025 at 89,028 miles. This pass with no recorded defects follows a short-lived failure just six days prior at 89,016 miles. The rapid failure and subsequent pass suggest a minor mechanical adjustment or a bulb-related issue that was immediately rectified, indicating that the current owner is responsive to testing requirements despite the brief initial failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 76,047 miles and October 2024 at 83,345 miles, the car covered 7,298 miles, showing steady annual use. The recent jump of 5,683 miles between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests indicates a period of slightly higher activity, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and seals compared to long periods of standing stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as the vehicle is now thirteen years of age. While the MOT record is clean, age-related wear often manifests in suspension bushes and coil springs before a failure occurs. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion and check the calipers for binding, as low mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from seized brake components. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the vehicle appears structurally sound, but a visual check of the underbody for mounting rust remains standard for a Kia of this era.
