2010 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · LG10 HGF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 May 2025 at 140,208 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has achieved clean passes in the last two testing cycles. While the history shows immediate failures on the same days as the tests, the lack of recorded advisory notes on the passing certificates suggests that any identified issues were rectified immediately between tests to bring the car up to legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,763 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 127,967 miles and the May 2025 test at 140,208 miles, the car covered 12,241 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular, active use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals, hoses, and brake components against corrosion-related seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the mechanical components that likely triggered the previous failures, although the record does not specify the exact reasons for rejection. Given the age and mileage of this 2010 Kia Rio, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, is essential. The condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake discs also warrant scrutiny, as these are common points of wear on vehicles exceeding the 140,000-mile mark.
