Our Verdict
This is a solid option for a buyer seeki
When inspecting this specific 1.2L petrol Rio, focus on the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only tests minimum safety standards. Given the mileage of 85,685, check that major service intervals have been met, particularly regarding timing belts or chains if applicable to this engine variant.
Because this vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, you should still perform a physical check of the consumables. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake pads, as these are not always highlighted in a 'no defect' MOT certificate unless they fall below legal limits.
The 1248cc petrol engine is positioned in a relatively low insurance group, making it an economical choice for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this model is generally efficient for a small hatchback, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for the Rio are typically moderate, but be aware that the model aggregate data suggests suspension components like ball joints and arms are common failure points across the wider fleet. You should budget for these potential repairs as the vehicle approaches higher mileage milestones.
While the MOT history for LF64VKT shows no defects, you should manually inspect the suspension system. Aggregate data for this model indicates that suspension arms and ball joints are frequent reasons for failure, so check for any knocks or play when driving over uneven surfaces.
Additionally, check the condition of the headlamps. Although this specific car has passed without issue, headlamp failure is a top reason for MOT failures in the Rio model range. Ensure the lenses are clear and the beam pattern is correct.
This 2014 white KIA Rio 1.2 petrol has covered 85,685 miles since its first registration in October 2014. The MOT history is notably consistent, showing five consecutive passes from 2021 through to 2025 without a single defect or advisory being recorded. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 6,270 per year, the lack of recorded failures is a significant data point.
The KIA Rio has an 80.4% average MOT pass rate across the 108,319 vehicles analysed in our database.
