2018 KIA RIO 1.0L Petrol · M9 ADO

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT record across its entire history. The most recent test conducted on 4 March 2026 at 14,262 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This trend of clean passes dating back to February 2022 indicates a stable mechanical condition where the vehicle has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during the testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,783 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 7,638 miles and March 2026 at 14,262 miles, the vehicle covered only 6,624 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests indicate the car sits stationary for extended periods. Such usage patterns can sometimes lead to issues such as brake corrosion or the degradation of rubber-based components that are not exercised. Because the record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat spots or surface cracking, and inspect the brake discs for surface rust or pitting from lack of use. It is also prudent to examine the suspension bushes and seals for rot, as these parts age by time regardless of the miles driven. The absence of any historical advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, despite its infrequent use.
