2013 KIA RIO 1.4L Petrol · ND13 HHB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on August 26, 2025, 55,773 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed and rectified minor defects identified during testing periods. The most recent failure on that same date involved only a low headlamp aim, which is a simple adjustment and indicates the vehicle is being subjected to regular inspections rather than suffering from mechanical neglect. At 13 years of age, the recorded mileage of 55,773 miles represents exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with 1,583 miles driven between September 2024 and August 2025, and roughly 1,200 miles in the preceding year. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, perished seals, or corrosion on brake hardware due to lack of thermal cycling. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside rear brake assembly, as the tester flagged an excessively binding caliper in August 2023 at 43,996 miles. Although this was resolved, the buyer should verify that the caliper moves freely and that the brake disc shows no signs of uneven wear or pitting. Given the age of the vehicle and low mileage, a check for structural corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting is essential, as these areas often fail due to time and moisture rather than mechanical strain.
