2014 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · CY14 FCJ

The 2014 Kia Rio presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 56,351 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 6 June 2024 at 49,694 miles confirms no ongoing mechanical or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 39,950 miles at the 23 November 2022 test, rose to 46,197 by 16 November 2023, then 49,692 at the 27 May 2024 failure and 49,694 at the 6 June 2024 pass, reaching 56,351 by May 2025. This equates to roughly 4,700 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation. The single failure on 27 May 2024 at 49,692 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate pass nine days later supports that reading. Given the clean advisory-free record, the previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current without neglected consumables or deferred suspension work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion, as MOT passes at low mileage do not exempt a vehicle from age-related rubber perishing or structural rust where moisture ingress has occurred during standing periods. The sparse but consistent history offers no recurring fault pattern to track. Verify service intervals against the low annual use, and confirm the 2024 failure context with the issuing test centre, as the nil-defect reject remains unexplained on the record.
