2016 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · MJ66 NMM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 2 October 2025 at 31,605 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five annual tests suggests the vehicle has been maintained in a good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures during its tenure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,160 miles per year. Between October 2021 (12,867 miles) and October 2025 (31,605 miles), the vehicle covered 18,738 miles, indicating consistent but light-intensity usage. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly. However, the infrequent use suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of mechanical mileage. While the MOT history shows no flagged faults, a physical inspection should focus on specific areas associated with low-mileage vehicles. Check the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, as age often affects rubber integrity more than tread depth in rarely driven. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a car is not driven regularly. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and boots for signs of cracking, as these components can perish over a decade even with minimal mileage.
