2022 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · OV22 CXR

The vehicle currently maintains a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 10 December 2025 at 27,074 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This outcome indicates a positive maintenance trend, as the previous advisory regarding thin front brake pads has been addressed. The absence of any current issues suggests the car has been subjected to appropriate servicing since the start of the year. With a total of 27,074 miles accumulated over approximately four years, the vehicle averages roughly 6,768 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical private motoring and suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which often leads to seized calipers or battery degradation. The mileage progression between the March 2025 test at 22,503 miles and the December 2025 test shows steady, moderate usage, indicating the vehicle is neither neglected nor subjected to excessive fleet-style wear. Given the previous March 2025 entry, a buyer should verify that the front brake pads were replaced rather than simply monitored, as thin pads can lead to scoring on the brake discs if left unchecked. While the record is currently clean, inspect the condition of the discs for any signs of lip formation or heat spotting. Since the vehicle is now approaching its next inspection window, check the tyre sidewalls for perishing and ensure the tread depth remains uniform across all four corners, as the current MOT record does not detail specific tyre health beyond the pass criteria.
