2014 KIA RIO 1.2L Petrol · MW64 ABZ

The 2014 KIA RIO demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five consecutive MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent December 2025 test at 58,351 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results. No recurring faults or escalating problems are evident in the record, indicating consistent maintenance and responsible ownership. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have been well-preserved over its 12-year lifespan. The mileage progression shows regular annual testing with incremental increases of approximately 5,000–6,000 miles per year, reflecting steady but light usage. From 36,113 miles in 2021 to 58,351 in 2025, the car has accumulated 22,238 miles over four years, averaging 5,559 miles annually. This low mileage suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, or rubber seals. No gaps in testing or rapid mileage spikes are present, reinforcing the impression of controlled usage. A physical inspection should focus on wear-prone elements exacerbated by low mileage, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, which may degrade from lack of use. Corrosion risks in the exhaust system and underbody should also be checked, as stagnant conditions can accelerate rust. While the MOT history shows no structural issues or advisories, the absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment of fluid levels, steering response, and tyre condition to confirm the vehicle’s operational integrity.
