Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Verify the service history to confirm that the vehicle has been serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule, which is critical for maintaining the Kia warranty. Ensure that the front tyres, which were flagged as worn to 3mm in January 2024, have since been replaced.
Check for any signs of interior wear consistent with 40,000 miles and ensure all electronic features of the '2' trim level are functioning correctly.
The 998cc engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and falling into a lower VED (road tax) bracket. Insurance costs for the Rio are generally competitive, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs are typically low for this model, though buyers should budget for standard consumables such as tyres and brake pads. The estimated annual running cost is likely to be moderate.
Inspect the current tread depth and condition of the front tyres, as the January 2024 MOT highlighted both the nearside and offside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit.
While the November 2025 MOT recorded no defects, it is advisable to check the brake discs and pads for wear, as is standard for a vehicle with over 40,000 miles. Check the bodywork for any minor city-driving scuffs on the grey paintwork.
This grey 2021 Kia Rio 2 S-A is powered by a 998cc petrol engine and recorded 40,243 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The MOT history shows three tests, with the most recent two passing without any defects. A minor advisory regarding front tyre wear was noted in January 2024.
