2014 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · LG64 HKC

The most recent MOT from September 2025 resulted in a pass, but it noted that the handbrake only just met the minimum requirements. This is a clear indicator that the braking system requires adjustment or repair to ensure it remains safe and effective. Looking at the history, there is a recurring pattern of tyre issues. In 2023, a front tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and in 2024, the vehicle failed due to nails in two tyres. While these are common maintenance items, the overall trend has shifted from a completely clean report in 2022 to a series of minor defects and marginal passes. The vehicle has covered roughly 3,812 miles per year, which is very low for its age. While this suggests light use, such low mileage can be ambiguous; it may indicate the car has spent long periods standing, which can lead to the perishing of rubber components or the seizing of brake mechanisms. The most important checks for a buyer are the handbrake and the overall condition of the braking system to address the marginal pass. You should also carefully inspect the tyres for wear and the age of the rubber components to ensure they have not deteriorated due to under-use.
