2017 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · RA17 FHT

The vehicle presents a positive state of roadworthiness with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 46,778 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that any previous issues have been rectified. This follows a clean pass in 2023, suggesting the owner has maintained the vehicle to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between June 2022 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered only 23 miles, suggesting a period of stationary or minimal use. However, the mileage increased more normally with 27,484 miles covered between September 2023 and September 2025. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals or brake corrosion during periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the windscreen wiper assembly, as the vehicle failed in September 2024 at 30,697 miles due to ineffective nearside and offside wipers. While this was resolved for the subsequent pass, the wiper motor and blades should be checked for signs of age or fatigue. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the brake discs for surface pitting or rust is advisable, as these often occurs on vehicles that sit idle for long periods. The lack of any structural advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains free from significant corrosion.
