2023 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · RO72 ULK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 23 December 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car passed the inspection with minor consumable advisories rather than structural or mechanical failures. While the tester identified specific components requiring attention, the overall lack of major defects suggests the vehicle has remained in a functional condition throughout its short history. At 32,561 miles after approximately three years, the Kia Rio has covered an average of roughly 10,854 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a modern hatchback, suggesting it has not been subjected to extreme long-distance stress or neglect. The record shows a recent test conducted less than seven months ago, providing a contemporary snapshot of the vehicle's mechanical state relative to the current date. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system during a physical inspection. The 2025 test flagged thin offside front brake pads and worn front brake discs, indicating that the front braking assembly is nearing the end of its primary service life. It is necessary to verify the remaining pad thickness and check for any scoring or glazing on the discs. Additionally, the defective front windscreen wiper blade requires a simple replacement to ensure adequate visibility during adverse weather.
