2014 KIA RIO 1.1L Diesel · CU64 OTM

The 2014 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 159,728 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 21 February 2025 at 140,160 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the last two cycles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern in the official record. Mileage stands at 159,728 against a 12-year life, averaging roughly 13,311 miles per year, which is high for this model age and points to sustained commuter use rather than occasional leisure driving. The records show steady annual accumulation: 101,442 miles in February 2023, 120,573 in February 2024, 140,160 in February 2025, and 159,728 in February 2026. A notable event appears on 18 February 2025 when the car failed at 140,160 miles yet the DVSA entry lists no defects; the owner retested three days later and passed. This suggests an administrative or presentation fault at the test centre rather than a mechanical defect, though the buyer should confirm the failure reason from the full VOSA certificate. Given the clean advisory history, no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues were flagged across the five recorded tests. The sparse record offers little evidence of neglected consumables, but high annual mileage demands in-person checks of tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody structural integrity for rust. A buyer should also verify the 2025 failure anomaly and inspect the clutch and drivetrain for wear consistent with 159,728 miles of use.
