Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a lo
Given the recent 2025 MOT advisory regarding corrosion on both nearside and offside rear brake hose ferrules, you should check if this work has been completed since the test. Corrosion in these areas can lead to sudden fluid leaks if left unaddressed.
When inspecting this specific FX64XUS vehicle, look closely at the suspension components. The 2023 MOT noted play in a nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, so ensure the steering feels tight and free of knocks. Ask the seller for any evidence of work carried out to address the brake hose corrosion or the previous suspension issues.
The 1248cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it affordable for younger drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for a KIA of this age are usually predictable, though you should budget for periodic replacement of consumables like brake discs, which were flagged as worn/pitted in the 2023 MOT. Annual running costs, including tax, insurance, and fuel, are estimated to be relatively modest.
Focus your inspection on the braking system. The most recent MOT record (August 2025) specifically highlighted slight corrosion to the ferrules on both rear brake hoses. Inspect these areas for any signs of weeping fluid or significant rust.
Additionally, check the front suspension. Since a ball joint was flagged with 'slight play' in 2023, listen for any clicking or clunking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or driving over uneven surfaces. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs, as the 2023 record noted pitting and scoring on the front discs.
This 2014 red KIA Rio features exceptionally low mileage for its age, having covered just under 30,000 miles in approximately 12 years. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record, though there are intermittent advisories concerning brake components and suspension joints. It represents a low-use example of this 1.2L petrol model.
Aggregate data from over 108,000 vehicles shows an 80.5% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being brake pipes, ball joints, and tyres.
