2013 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · SB13 DVG

The 2013 Kia Rio presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent MOT test. On 24 January 2022 at 49,237 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, indicating the tester found no advisories or failures across lighting, suspension, brakes, or emissions at that point. The recorded mileage of 49,237 at the January 2022 test equates to roughly 3,787 miles per year over the car's 13-year life, a low figure for its age. The single MOT entry provides no evidence of rapid accumulation or notable gaps in testing, though the absence of earlier records limits trend analysis. Low mileage of this kind often reflects light use or extended standing periods, either of which can leave fluids, seals, and tyres degraded despite a clean test sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as a four-year-old pass certificate cannot confirm current condition. Standing time implied by low annual mileage raises the risk of perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres. The clean 2022 result shows no prior owner neglected statutory testing, but it offers no warranty against corrosion or mechanical wear developed since.
