2020 KIA RIO 3 Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · RE70 XBY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 December 2025 at 55,030 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively managed the vehicle, preventing the accumulation of minor mechanical faults or structural corrosion over the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,172 miles per annum. Between the December 2023 test at 24,701 miles and the December 2024 test at 38,650 miles, the car covered 13,949 miles. The subsequent interval saw a further 16,380 miles covered before the 2025 test. This steady usage suggests regular road use which is often beneficial for vehicle components like braking systems and seals to prevent the issues associated with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, exhaust corrosion, or brake binding, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that falls outside the MOT testing scope. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and inspect the remaining life on the brake pads and discs. Given the mileage, checking for any minor fluid leaks or inspecting the state of the hybrid drivetrain components are also prudent steps to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean administrative history.
