Our Verdict
This Kia Rio is a solid, well-maintained example with remarkably low mileage for its age. While it has required consistent maintenance regarding tyres and brakes, these are expected wear-and-tear items that have been addressed promptly.
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the service history to ensure the low mileage is backed by regular oil and filter changes, which are vital for the longevity of the 1.25L engine. Given the recurring advisories for brake pads and tyres, confirm whether the most recent owner has already replaced the front tyres noted as cracking in the 2025 MOT.
Negotiate the price slightly to account for the potential need for new front tyres in the near future. It is also worth checking the condition of the suspension arm ball joint dust covers, as these were flagged in 2023; ensure there is no play in the suspension during your test drive.
The 1.25L petrol engine is known for its efficiency, making this Rio an economical choice for daily commuting. Insurance groups for this model are generally low, helping to keep annual premiums manageable for most drivers.
Road tax is calculated based on the 2017 registration, and you should expect moderate annual costs. Factoring in fuel, insurance, tax, and routine maintenance, you should budget approximately £900–£1,100 per year, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the MOT history shows a recurring theme of cracking and edge wear, likely due to the car sitting for long periods or frequent low-speed city manoeuvring. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres for signs of perishing, as noted in the 2025 inspection.
Inspect the brake discs and pads. The history indicates the car has gone through several sets of pads, which is common for this model. Ensure the car stops straight under braking and there is no grinding noise, which would indicate that the discs have reached their minimum thickness.
Registered in September 2017, this black 1.25L petrol Kia Rio has covered just over 24,000 miles, making it an ideal choice for city driving or a second family car. The MOT history shows a pattern of diligent owner care, with all advisories being standard maintenance items rather than systemic mechanical failures. It represents a reliable, low-mileage proposition that has been kept roadworthy throughout its nine-year lifespan.
The Kia Rio is widely regarded as a dependable supermini with a straightforward mechanical layout that typically avoids major electrical or engine-related faults.
