2014 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · FD14 AEV

The 2026‑07‑15 MOT at 94,524 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the vehicle currently satisfies DVSA roadworthiness requirements. The maintenance record demonstrates a stable trend, as the 2023 failures were followed by successful retests in 2024, 2025 and 2026 with no new major defects reported. Mileage has climbed from 25,177 miles in June 2017 to 94,524 miles in July 2026, averaging roughly 7,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 12‑year‑old car. The annual testing interval from 2017 onward is continuous, with only the 2017 dual‑test entry and the 2020 test noting items removed from the driver’s view, but no extended periods without a record. Recurring observations include heavily perished tyres on all four wheels, worn and pitted rear brake discs, thin rear brake pads, and sub‑frame corrosion noted in the 2025 and 2026 tests, while the off‑side front daytime running light remains inoperative and oil level was recorded on minimum in 2023. A buyer should therefore verify tyre tread depth and condition, inspect brake pads and discs for excessive wear or scoring, examine suspension bushes and sub‑frame for structural rust, confirm functional operation of all lights, and check oil level and condition; addressing these items will determine whether the vehicle remains safely roadworthy.
