2017 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · HX17 UAV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 25 June 2025 at 61,874 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of flawless test results dating back to July 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a nine year old car. Between the July 2022 test at 40,173 miles and the June 2025 test at 61,874 miles, the car covered 21,701 miles over approximately three years. This averages to roughly 7,200 miles per year, suggesting regular use without periods of prolonged standing that often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The absence of any advisories over four consecutive years is uncommon and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion appear in the record. The lack of noted exhaust emissions failures or structural integrity concerns indicates the chassis and engine have been well preserved. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that do not always trigger MOT failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as these consumables will have worn naturally over the 21,000 miles covered since 2022. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and filters were changed in line with manufacturer intervals, as the MOT record confirms legal roadworthiness but not comprehensive mechanical servicing.
