Our Verdict

This is a highly recommended option for

Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, your primary focus should be on confirming the presence of a full service history to support the manufacturer's warranty. While the MOT history shows no defects, ensure the service intervals have been met according to KIA's requirements.

When negotiating, check if any remaining manufacturer warranty is transferable to you. Because this is a 998cc petrol model, it is ideal for urban driving, but you should verify that the service records reflect regular oil changes, which are vital for small-capacity turbocharged engines.

The 998.0cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for budget-conscious drivers. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback in this class.

Maintenance costs for this model are typically predictable, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brake pads. Based on the low mileage, the estimated annual running cost is relatively modest.

Although the MOT history for this specific registration shows no defects, the model aggregate data suggests that windscreen wipers, brake pads, and brake performance are common failure points for the KIA Rio. It is worth checking the condition of the wiper blades and testing the braking response during a test drive.

Additionally, inspect the blue paintwork for any signs of stone chips or minor scuffs, which are common on low-slung city cars. Check all electronic components, such as infotainment and sensors, to ensure they are functioning as expected.

Registered in August 2022, this blue KIA Rio 2 S-A has covered 5,383 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2026. The vehicle's mileage is slightly above the model average of 5,098 miles per year, but remains very low for a four-year-old car. With two consecutive MOT passes showing no defects, the recorded history is clean.

The KIA Rio shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 91.5% across 593 analysed vehicles.
