2014 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · CU14 LCV

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on March 2026 at 70,450 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak of passes suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety requirements before they could result in a formal failure during the annual DVSA inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 47,966 miles and March 2026 at 70,450 miles, the vehicle covered 22,484 miles, showing a consistent annual usage of roughly 5,600 miles. This low usage suggests light driving rather than heavy commuting. While low mileage generally preserves wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber seals or brake components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. While the digital record is clear of recorded faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on cars that are not used frequently. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the age of the vehicle, also examine the underside for structural rust around the sills and wheel arches to ensure the integrity has not been compromised despite the lack of recorded failures.
