Our Verdict
Recommended for its clean recent MOT history and below-average mileage, though minor past issues warrant basic inspection.
Prioritise checking the service history to confirm repairs for the 2023 wiper blade and 2022 tyre issues. Negotiate based on the low mileage, which suggests gentle usage. Look for consistent maintenance records and verify the vehicle's history for any unreported accidents. The 1.2L petrol engine is reliable, but ensure the 5-speed manual transmission operates smoothly.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, with an average of 45-50 mpg. As a 2017 model, it falls into a low UK road tax band (£145/year for 2024-2025). Insurance group 15-18 is typical for this era, costing £600-£800 annually. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) should cost £100-£150 every 10,000 miles. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,000.
Focus on the nearside front tyre and wiper blade assembly, as these were previously flagged. Check for uneven tyre wear or replacement history. Inspect the windscreen for cracks or chips that may have contributed to the 2023 failure. Test the wiper operation for smoothness and coverage. Examine the engine bay for leaks and the exhaust system for corrosion, common in older KIA models.
This 2017 KIA Rio has a clean MOT history for the last 18 months, with no defects recorded in its last three tests. Past issues (torn wiper blade and worn tyre) were addressed, and the vehicle now shows 25,728 miles—well below the typical 9-year-old car's mileage. While no aggregate reliability data exists for the RIO model, KIA's general reputation for durability supports its value proposition.
While no aggregate MOT data exists for the KIA RIO, KIA as a brand is generally regarded as reliable, with strong warranties and low long-term maintenance costs.
