2014 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · ML64 ACF

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 September 2025 at 58,273 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of consecutive clean MOT passes over the last five years suggests a proactive approach to upkeep, as the vehicle consistently meets safety and emission standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,856 miles per year. Between the October 2021 test at 38,362 miles and the October 2024 test at 54,714 miles, the car covered 16,352 miles, indicating consistent but light usage patterns. Such low annual mileage reduces the typical wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related issues such as rubber components, seals, and fluid degradation if the car has sat stationary for long periods between these intervals. While the digital record shows no flagged advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age rather than just mileage. A buyer should check for dry rot or perished tyres, as low mileage often masks sidewall cracking despite sufficient tread depth. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough examination of the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounts and exhaust hangers is necessary to ensure structural integrity has not begun to compromise despite the low use. Brake components should also be checked for seized calipers or rusted discs, which can occur on vehicles that are infrequently driven.
