2009 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · SY59 PXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing trend in recent years. The most recent MOT test on 15 September 2025 at 32,406 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful test in October 2024 at 30,685 miles, suggesting that the vehicle's core mechanical and structural integrity has remained consistent over the last few inspection cycles. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2009 vehicle, averaging approximately 1,906 miles per year. The record shows a steady, gradual increase from 28,409 miles in October 2022 to the current 32,406 miles in 2025. While this low usage indicates light road use, such prolonged periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized calipers. The data shows a single failure on 19 September 2023 at 29,609 miles, though the record indicates no specific defects were noted, implying it was likely a minor rectification. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade during long periods of sitting rather than high-mileage wear. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive belts to ensure they have not become brittle. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots. While the MOT history is clean, verifying the service history is essential to confirm that fluids and lubricants have been changed regularly despite the low mileage.
