2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · LF15 MFA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on 08 August 2025 at 47,082 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently passes its annual inspections without lingering advisory notes. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2024 and 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that minor issues were rectified prior to the retests rather than representing persistent mechanical degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,280 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage, with only 1,908 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 2,374 miles leading into the 2025 test. This low accumulation suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry due to long periods of inactivity rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Specifically, check the tyre sidewalls for cracking, suspension bushes for perished rubber, and brake discs for surface corrosion which often occurs on low-use vehicles. Since the history shows no structural orrelated failures, the primary integrity of the chassis appears sound, but the recurring failures without recorded defects indicate the owner may only address minor items like bulbs or wipers when specifically prompted by the test environment.
