2013 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · LG13 EDV

The 2013 Kia Rio presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 50,029 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly at 47,866 miles on 2 December 2024. The history shows no advisories or mechanical faults across any test, indicating no worsening or recurring defect pattern in the official record. The mileage pattern reflects low use for a 13-year-old vehicle, totalling just 50,029 miles or roughly 3,848 miles per year. The records show the car at 45,497 miles on 27 November 2023, then 47,497 miles on the same date later that day, before reaching 47,866 miles by late 2024 and 50,029 miles by November 2025. The two 2023 entries on one day and the failed-then-passed sequence in late November 2024 at identical mileage suggest administrative re-tests rather than real driving gaps, with only around 2,163 miles added across the final twelve months of data. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and likely periods of standing, as low-mileage vehicles often develop corrosion or seized components through inactivity. The DVSA record flags no structural integrity issues, exhaust emissions failures or tyre defects, so no specific recurring fault demands targeted investigation beyond standard used-car checks. Given the clean test outcomes and absent advisories, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse history offers limited insight into intermediate servicing. Verify service paperwork and inspect underneath for hidden rust before purchase.
