2022 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · FY22 UCT

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in August 2025 at 16,055 miles returned a pass with zero defects or advisories. This follows a clean result from March 2025, indicating that the vehicle consistently meets minimum safety requirements throughout its recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles annually. Between the March 2025 test at 13,831 miles and the August 2025 test at 16,055 miles, the car covered only 2,224 miles. This low intensity suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, though it also implies the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods between uses. Since the MOT record shows no mechanical failures, structural corrosion, or brake issues, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for flat spotting on the tyres or surface rust on the brake discs from infrequent use. It is also prudent to inspect rubber components, such as bushes and seals, for cracking despite the low mileage, as these materials can degrade over time regardless of distance driven.
