2016 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · GC65 FFW

The latest MOT on 27 April 2026 at 84,505 miles recorded a Pass with no defects, indicating the vehicle is presently road‑worthy. The record shows a shift from earlier failures – notably the serious brake‑disc weakness flagged on 12 May 2025 – to consecutive passes, suggesting an improving maintenance pattern. Across ten years the odometer has risen from 24,206 miles in February 2019 to 84,505 miles in April 2026, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year. The mileage increments between tests are consistent: 48,062 miles in March 2023 to 60,911 miles by March 2024, then to 77,125 miles by May 2025, and finally to 84,505 miles in April 2026. No abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps appear, implying regular use rather than periods of neglect. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the brake system, confirming that the front and rear discs replaced after the May 2025 failure are now within thickness tolerances and free of scoring. Tyre tread depth warrants a close visual check, especially on the rear tyres that were near the legal limit in the March 2023 failure, to ensure uniform wear and adequate depth. Inspection of the off‑side front position lamp and a general audit of lighting functions are advisable, given the lamp fault recorded in March 2024. Finally, a brief examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of corrosion will confirm that no hidden structural issues have developed since the last clean MOT.
