2009 KIA RIO 1.5L Diesel · LC09 NNX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a trend toward cleaner inspections in recent years. The most recent test on 15 November 2022 at 138,894 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. While the history shows previous failures in 2020 and 2021, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest that the previous owner addressed identified issues effectively. At 17 years old, the car has averaged approximately 8,170 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between November 2020 and November 2021, and another 9,200 miles between November 2021 and November 2022. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and seized brake calipers. Because the last recorded MOT was three and a half years ago as of June 2026, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unknown. A buyer must account for the significant gap in data since the 2022 test, as components such as suspension bushes, brake lines, and tyre tread will have aged or worn. Given the age of the Rio, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically rust on the sills and the condition of the braking system to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed since the final recorded pass.
