2015 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · LS65 EUM

The vehicle presents a consistent pass record, though the most recent test in October 2025 at 27,446 miles highlights emerging maintenance requirements. The tester flagged worn rear brake discs and noted an active TPMS warning light. This follows a pattern seen in September 2022 at 21,130 miles, where both front brake pads were noted as thin and front discs showed wear. While the vehicle passed these tests, the recurring mention of brake component wear suggests the braking system is reaching the end of its service life despite the low mileage. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 27,446 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per annum. Such low usage often preserves mechanical components but can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and brake surfaces. The September 2024 test at 25,432 miles revealed that both front tyres were worn to the legal limit and showed uneven edge wear, which typically indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The 2021 test at 18,701 miles showed only a minor cut to the nearside front tyre that did not compromise the structural cords. The overall mechanical trend indicates a vehicle that has been used sparingly but is now requiring attention to wear-related items. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry for signs of excessive wear to explain the uneven tyre patterns noted in 2024. The TPMS light requires diagnostic investigation to determine if it is a faulty sensor or a slow pressure leak. No structural corrosion or major mechanical failures have been recorded across the history, suggesting the chassis remains sound for its age.
