2018 KIA RIO 1.0L Petrol · SN10 EDD

The most recent MOT test on 10 March 2026 shows a pass, though the tester flagged an advisory for both front tyres being slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing. This indicates a shift from the previous three years of clean records where no defects were noted. While the vehicle has passed all five recorded tests since August 2022, the emergence of tyre degradation suggests a transition from a period of no recorded issues to the onset of consumable wear. The vehicle has covered 56,282 miles over its eight-year lifespan, averaging approximately 7,035 miles per year. This mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows a steady pattern of annual testing, with the most recent tests occurring in March 2026, March 2025, and March 2024, following two tests in August 2022 and August 2023. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the front tyres to address the perishing noted in the March 2026 advisory. Perishing often occurs when a vehicle sits for extended periods or when rubber reaches the end of its natural lifespan regardless of tread depth. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded issues regarding suspension components, brake discs, or exhaust emissions in the previous years suggests these areas have met minimum standards during recent inspections. Physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and checking for any signs of age-related cracking is necessary. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
