2021 KIA RIO 1.0L Petrol · YT21 KCJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in February 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a reactive approach to minor repairs rather than preventative care. The failure on 18 February 2026 at 29,316 miles was solely due to both windscreen wipers failing to clear effectively, which was rectified to allow a pass just one mile later that same day with no further defects recorded. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,863 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, moving from 17,446 miles in February 2024 to 23,627 miles in February 2025, and reaching 29,317 miles by February 2026. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though low use can sometimes lead to flat spots on tyres or brake corrosion if the car has sat for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the wiper assembly and lighting systems, as these have been flagged in the two most recent tests. The February 2025 test at 23,627 miles noted a non-functional nearside daytime running light and a split rear wiper blade. While these are consumable items, the recurring nature suggests the owner may overlook basic exterior maintenance. Since the record shows no history of corrosion, brake binding, or suspension failures, the mechanical integrity of the vehicle appears well-preserved relative to the available data.
