2015 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · SW65 AVT

The vehicle shows a stable MOT pass history with no recorded failures or advisories across the last five testing cycles. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects noted, matching the clean outcomes seen in the 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 inspections. This consistency indicates that no recurring mechanical or structural issues have been flagged by the tester in recent years. The recorded mileage of 49,245 miles for an 11-year-old vehicle suggests a low-usage pattern, averaging approximately 4,477 miles per year. The MOT records show consistent annual testing, though the interval between the 2023 test on 14 October and the 2024 test on 14 August shows a slightly longer gap than the usual twelve-month cycle. The low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-frequency motorway driving or heavy mechanical wear typical of higher-mileage examples. While the MOT history is devoid of flagged defects, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues not always captured in a standard inspection. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack during long periods of inactivity. It is also advisable to check the condition of the battery and fluid levels, as low-use vehicles often experience more rapid degradation in these areas. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, pads, or exhaust emissions in the recent history is noted, but a physical inspection of the braking system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear remains necessary. Given the lack of recorded corrosion or structural issues in the MOT data, the primary focus should remain on verifying the mechanical integrity of components that may suffer from infrequent use. buying_score: 85 risk_level: Low.
