2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · GV64 VMM

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following a successful MOT test on 27 March 2026 at 106,357 miles. This result reflects a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has achieved three consecutive passes without any recorded advisories or defects since January 2024. The brief failure on 28 January 2025 at 103,931 miles appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly, given that the vehicle passed the following day without any repairs noted, suggesting the mechanical condition remains consistent and well-managed. Accumulating 106,357 miles over an eleven-year lifespan averages to approximately 9,669 miles per annum, which sits squarely within typical usage parameters for a vehicle of this class. The mileage progression is linear and logical, showing steady annual increases of roughly 7,000 to 10,000 miles between tests. This consistency indicates that the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which often helps prevent the premature degradation of seals, hoses, and battery health associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that typically demand attention at this mileage interval, even if they were not flagged during the most recent test. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perishing, as these components frequently reach the end of their service life after ten years of road use. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, and check the underside of the chassis for any early signs of surface rust that might not have reached the threshold for an official advisory. The lack of recurring defects suggests a conscientious owner, but a thorough check of the service book for oil changes and timing chain health remains essential to complement this MOT data.
