2013 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · MW62 RLY

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 17 September 2025 at 90,971 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar clean result in September 2024, suggesting the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,998 miles per year. Between 12 September 2022 and 17 September 2025, the odometer rose from 78,582 to 90,971 miles, showing a steady usage rate of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 miles annually over the last three years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or prolonged periods of standing. A strange anomaly appears in September 2024, where the vehicle failed on 11 September at 87,206 miles but passed a week later on 18 September at 87,247 miles. The record lists no specific defects for either entry, which is atypical for a failure. This suggests either a clerical error by the testing station or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical breakdown. Given the absence of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across several years, the mechanical history is exceptionally clean. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the brake discs and tyre treads to ensure consumables have been replaced recently. Checking for underbody corrosion remains a priority for a 2013 model, as the MOT record does not explicitly mention structural integrity.
