Our Verdict
This 2019 Kia Rio presents a generally c
When evaluating this Kia Rio, request the supporting paper or digital service history to cross-reference against the recorded mileage milestones of 20,490, 30,139, 37,902, 41,298, and 46,716 miles. Pay close attention to the February 2023 test, which flagged multiple worn tyres, thin brake pads, and a defective wiper blade, to confirm these items were replaced rather than just passing subsequent tests. Negotiate on price if there are gaps in the servicing schedule or if replacement tyres and brakes cannot be verified with invoices.
The 1.25-litre petrol engine sits in a modest insurance group and meets Euro 6 AG emissions standards, helping to keep city running costs manageable. Annual vehicle tax will fall under standard petrol car rates, while fuel economy should align well with typical supermini expectations. Factoring in routine maintenance, insurance, fuel, and road tax, estimated annual running costs should sit around £1,000 to £1,300 depending on your annual mileage and geographical location.
Inspect the front and rear tyres closely, keeping in mind that cracking, perishing, and edge wear were specifically noted on multiple tyres during the February 2023 MOT test at 20,490 miles. Check the thickness of the front brake pads, as both sides were recorded as wearing thin during that same 2023 test. Additionally, verify that the windscreen wipers and adult seat belts—noted with an obstruction advisory in July 2026—operate without restriction.
First registered in March 2019, this red petrol-engined Kia Rio features a 1248.0cc Euro 6 AG engine and has covered 46,716 miles. The MOT history records multiple passes, including recent clean tests in 2024, early 2025, and mid-2025, preceded by an advisory-heavy pass in February 2023. With a mileage well below the model average, it represents a typical example of this popular hatchback.
The Kia Rio has an aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.5% across more than 108,000 tested vehicles, with common failure points typically related to tyres, ball joints, and brake pipes.
