2018 KIA RIO 1 1.2L Petrol · MXZ 3298

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 17 February 2025 at 42,031 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This clean record across the last three tests indicates that the primary mechanical and safety systems have remained within operating parameters without recurring points of failure. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,254 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 27,493 miles and the 2024 test at 35,375 miles, the car covered 7,882 miles, followed by another 6,656 miles in the 15 months leading up to the 2025 test. This low annual usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based seals due to inactivity rather than mechanical stress. While the record shows no mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Check for dry rot or cracking in suspension bushes and tyres, which can perish even if the vehicle is rarely driven. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-used cars often suffer from rust on the rotors. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the chassis appears to have been well-maintained despite its low mileage.
