2012 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · WN12 AAV

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 July 2025 at 90,049 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the previous three years, indicating the car is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 6,432 miles per year. The distance covered between the February 2023 test at 77,152 miles and the July 2025 test at 90,049 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 13,000 miles over 29 months. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or sudden heavy commercial use. The MOT history is unusually clean for a fourteen year old vehicle, with no recorded advisories for common age-related issues such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. While the records show failures on 22 February 2023 and 19 February 2024, these were resolved on the same day, which is common for minor consumable items. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion, as the DVSA record does not always capture early-stage rust that has not yet become a failure point. Checking the condition of the tyres and brake pads is advised to ensure they have not worn down since the July 2025 test. Given the lack of reported faults, the focus should remain on general wear and tear consistent with a 90,000-mile chassis.
