2014 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · MJ64 YFR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 23 October 2025 at 48,132 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a series of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained and does not suffer from chronic mechanical failures or progressive structural degradation. The usage pattern is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 5,270 miles, reflecting a consistent history of short-distance driving. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can sometimes lead to age-related rubber perish or fluid stagnation. The brief failure on 28 October 2024 at 46,358 miles was immediately rectified, as the vehicle passed three days later at 46,418 miles, indicating a minor issue that was addressed quickly rather than a persistent mechanical fault. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low usage rather than high-mile wear. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as low-frequency use prevents these from staying clear. Given the clean history, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a standard check of the underbody for surface rust remains prudent for a vehicle of this age.
