Our Verdict
This 2017 Kia Rio offers reasonable value for money but requires careful inspection of its tyre history and service records. The recent MOT pass is encouraging, but recurring tyre issues from 2022-2023 suggest potential maintenance risks.
Prioritise checking the tyre condition and replacement history, as repeated failures on both rear tyres (2022-2023) indicate possible neglect or structural issues. Verify service records to confirm tyre replacements and inspect for signs of uneven wear. Negotiate the price to account for past maintenance risks, and consider a pre-purchase inspection for hidden damage. Avoid this vehicle if the tyres show no evidence of replacement or if the suspension/steering feels compromised.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely 45-50 mpg on the motorway, with a 2023/24 road tax of £155 (zero-emission vehicle). Insurance group for a 2017 Rio is typically 15-20, costing £500-700 annually. Maintenance costs are moderate, but tyre replacements (two rear tyres at ~£100 each) and potential suspension repairs could add £300-500 yearly. Estimated annual running cost: £800-£1,000.
Focus on the rear tyres for signs of uneven wear, cracks, or previous replacements. Check the suspension components for play or damage, as tyre issues may indicate alignment or shock absorber problems. Inspect the steering system for excessive free play. Review service records to confirm tyre replacements and ensure no unexplained mileage spikes. Check the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises, and test the brakes for even wear.
The 2017 Kia Rio has a mixed MOT history with two tyre-related failures in 2022 and minor issues in 2023, though it passed its last two MOTs. At 74,131 miles, the mileage is below average for a 9-year-old vehicle, suggesting potential under-use. No aggregate reliability data exists for the model, so decisions must rely on this vehicle's specific history.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the KIA RIO model, so reliability must be assessed on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis using its specific history.
