Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for those seek
Given the 163,879-mile odometer reading, the primary focus should be on the service history. Verify when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, as this vehicle is well beyond the typical interval for these critical components. Check for evidence of clutch wear, which is common in high-mileage diesel manuals of this era.
Negotiate the price based on the mileage, which exceeds the average annual figures seen in our model aggregate data. Ensure you have a clear understanding of why the vehicle failed its MOT in April 2026, as the records indicate a failure occurred shortly before the most recent clean pass.
The 1.493L CRDI engine provides the fuel efficiency expected of a small diesel, though maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and high mileage. Insurance for the Rio is generally affordable, placing it in a lower insurance group.
Annual costs will be driven by the need for preventative maintenance to keep a high-mileage engine viable. Between fuel, road tax for a 2010 diesel, and anticipated wear-and-tear repairs, the running costs will be moderate for a car of this class.
Pay close attention to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and exhaust system, as high-mileage diesels often suffer from carbon buildup. Inspect the suspension components and brake discs for excessive wear, as these are common failure points for vehicles crossing the 150,000-mile mark.
Although the June 2026 MOT was clean, the failure in April 2026 suggests a recent issue was addressed. Check the invoices for that period to see exactly what was repaired. Finally, inspect the bodywork for corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which can be a concern for 2010-era vehicles in the UK.
This white 2010 Kia Rio Strike CRDI has recorded 163,879 miles, which is notably higher than the model average. Its MOT history shows five tests since 2022, resulting in four passes and one failure in April 2026. The vehicle's recent pass in June 2026 was recorded without any defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.2% across 25 analysed vehicles, indicating moderate overall reliability.
