2022 KIA RIO 3 Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · GY71 UPR

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a perfectly clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 27 January 2026 at 35,889 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met all DVSA safety and emission standards without any mechanical failure or structural degradation over the last two inspection cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 27,705 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered 8,184 miles. This steady usage pattern suggests regular interval driving rather than long periods of stagnation, which is beneficial for maintaining the integrity of engine seals, brake components to prevent seizing, and the health of the mild-hybrid system. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that falls between test intervals. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and the remaining thickness of the brake pads, as these are not monitored during the MOT. Given the relatively low mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should show minimal signs of fatigue, but a visual check for fluid leaks under the chassis will confirm the clean mechanical state suggested by the digital record.
