2007 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · YP57 ABN

This vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 103,364 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,440 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the odometer rose from 96,712 to 103,364 miles, indicating a steady but light usage pattern of approximately 2,200 miles per annum over the last three years. This low annual accumulation reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can sometimes mask issues related to vehicle stagnation. A single failure occurred on 16 February 2023 at 96,711 miles, though it was resolved the following day. The absence of any recorded advisories across the last four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. It suggests a proactive approach to maintenance or a very light duty cycle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may not have flagged as critical failures. Given the age of the car and the low mileage, check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion, as older Kia models can be susceptible to rust in the sills and floor pans, which may not always trigger a failure if the integrity remains sufficient. Verify the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion resulting from periods of inactivity.
