2013 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · GY13 ADZ

This vehicle is in a stable and highly roadworthy condition based on the available data. The most recent MOT on 14 July 2025 at 48,426 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage is exceptionally low for a thirteen year old car, averaging roughly 3,725 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 4,734 miles added between July 2023 and July 2024, and 4,734 miles added again by July 2025. This consistency suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of standing, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no recorded failures or advisories across five tests. The failure on 18 July 2023 at 38,722 miles was resolved within the same day, as the car passed at 38,726 miles. Because the DVSA record shows no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, there are no specific mechanical red flags to highlight. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles can suffer from tyre cracking due to age even if the tread remains deep. Check the date codes on the tyres and inspect the brake fluid condition and coolant levels. Given the age of the car, a visual check for surface corrosion on the underside is advised, though the clean MOT history suggests the structural integrity remains sound.
