2007 KIA RIO 1.5L Diesel · WN07 EVM

The 2007 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 19 September 2025 at 91,897 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though the prior attempt on 11 September 2025 at 91,856 miles failed with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five entries from 2022 to 2025, the vehicle cleared every test where a defect was logged, indicating no recurring advisories or worsening condition. The odometer sat at 82,060 miles in September 2022 and reached 91,897 miles by September 2025, an accumulation of roughly 9,800 miles over three years or about 3,270 miles annually. Against a 19-year lifespan this equates to low use at circa 4,837 miles per year, suggesting extended standing periods common with elderly low-mileage cars. No abrupt mileage jumps appear; the progression from 85,716 in 2023 to 88,827 in 2024 and 91,897 in 2025 is linear and modest. The record itself is sparse, carrying no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframe given the car's 2007 build year, as structural rust evades detection without ramp access and the MOT file logs no corrosion checks. The unexplained fail on 11 September 2025 warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA portal show no suppressed defect, since a zero-defect failure is irregular. Verify the front coil springs and rear trailing arm bushes for age-related fatigue, and test the calipers for bind after the long idle stretches implied by the low annual mileage.
