2013 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · LP13 MKK

The 2013 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 111,180 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a fail on 17 November 2023 at 93,821 miles that was immediately cleared three days later on 20 November 2023 at 93,825 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,552 miles, typical for a 13-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 84,670 miles in December 2022, 93,825 in November 2023, 101,748 in November 2024, and 111,180 in December 2025. No rapid jumps or standing gaps appear. The clean pass history across all dated entries suggests the previous owner kept basic consumable and emissions standards in check, though the sparse advisory data limits deeper insight into wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 111,180 miles. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural integrity issues, but testers often omit minor advisories on a clean pass. Check for tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust emissions at the tailpipe during a cold start. The absence of recurring defects points to resolving or stable condition rather than worsening neglect. Given the immediate clear after the 2023 fail, verify the retest paperwork if available, but the trajectory implies competent upkeep by the prior keeper.
