2019 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · SH19 AAX

The 2019 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 54,281 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with every annual examination from March 2024 onward clearing without advisories. A minor administrative anomaly appears in the record: on both 2 March 2024 and 19 February 2026 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at near-identical mileages (39,597 and 39,599; 54,281 on both), with no defects listed. This points to clerical or process errors at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,754 miles per year against the car's seven-year age, a typical usage profile for this class. The odometer moved from 39,599 miles at the March 2024 test to 47,102 miles by March 2025, then to 54,281 by February 2026. That equates to about 7,500 miles covered in each twelve-month interval. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps emerge from the data. The clean sheet across all four years suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable and structural items within test limits. Given the absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, no recurring mechanical trend requires flagging. The same-day fail-pass entries with zero defects do warrant a check of the DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed fault data exists. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, plus a measurement of tyre tread and brake caliper operation, as these items fall outside MOT pass confirmation of long-term condition.
