2019 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · L2 YMD

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 18 July 2025 at 49,440 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a seven year old car. The distance increased by 8,016 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and by a further 8,016 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This linear usage suggests regular driving patterns rather than erratic use or long periods of stagnation, which generally helps preserve the condition of rubber seals and battery health. The absence of any advisories over the last four years is rare and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. No issues with brake disc thickness, tyre tread, or suspension bushes have been flagged by the testers. The lack of mentioned corrosion or exhaust emissions failures indicates the structural integrity and engine efficiency remain intact. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they are within legal limits but nearing the end of their service life. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads. Verify the service history for oil changes and filter replacements, as the MOT record confirms legal compliance but does not document the internal engine maintenance required for long term reliability.
