2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · PO15 XZB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on January 27, 2026 at 98,676 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its inspections despite initial failures on the same dates in both 2025 and 2026. These failures recorded no specific defects, suggesting that any previously identified issues were addressed and rectified immediately before the passing retests. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2024 test at 83,603 miles and the January 2025 test at 91,784 miles, the car covered 8,181 miles. A further 6,892 miles were clocked leading up to the 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular-term use rather than long periods of stagnation which often leads to seized components or perished rubber. While the recent records show no active defects, the recurring failures on the first attempt of the test indicate that the vehicle may operate on a reactive rather than proactive schedule. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically the bushes and coil springs, as these are prone to wear at this mileage. Given the age of the Kia, checking for surface corrosion on the exhaust system and brake lines is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound beneath the surface.
