Our Verdict
This 2022 Kia Rio presents a strong value proposition with its clean MOT history and low mileage, making it a reliable choice for budget-conscious buyers.
Prioritise verifying service records to confirm the low mileage is genuine. While the 1.2L engine is generally reliable, check for any owner-reported issues with timing chain tensioners. Negotiate based on its low mileage and clean MOT history. Be cautious of potential hidden costs if the vehicle has not been regularly serviced by a dealer.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, with typical urban consumption around 35-40 mpg. As a Euro 6 AP vehicle, it falls into a low tax band (£0 for 2026-2027). Insurance group 11 is average for this class. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) should cost £100-£150 every 10,000 miles. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.
Check for oil leaks around the timing chain cover (a known issue in some 1.2L KIA engines). Inspect the transmission for rough shifts, as dual-clutch units can develop glitches. Examine the silver paint for touch-ups or bodywork repairs. Verify that all MOT-passed components (brakes, lights, exhaust) are functioning correctly. Confirm the vehicle has not been involved in any accidents via the VIN check.
The 2022 KIA RIO (registration PF71FNC) shows excellent condition with no MOT defects in its last three inspections. At 17,294 miles, its mileage is below average for a 4-year-old vehicle. The 1.2L petrol engine meets Euro 6 AP standards, and the silver exterior shows no recorded damage. No model-wide reliability issues are apparent from its specific history.
No specific reliability trends identified for this vehicle's exact configuration. KIA as a brand generally scores well in reliability surveys, but individual model performance varies.
