Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the recorded mileage of 123,047, you should prioritize checking the service history to see if major interval items, such as the cambelt (if applicable to this engine variant) or clutch, have been addressed. The MOT history shows repeated issues with braking components, specifically discs and pads being noted as worn or pitted in 2023, so ensure the current braking system feels responsive and free of noise.
Negotiate based on the recent MOT advisory regarding the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit. You should also inspect the wheels for any signs of distortion, as the 2024 MOT recorded a slightly distorted nearside rear road wheel. Finally, check the condition of the tyres across the whole vehicle, as the history shows a tendency for tyres to be flagged for damage or edge wear.
The 1396cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group for a 2014 vehicle. Fuel economy for this Rio model is typically efficient for a small hatchback, though actual figures will depend on the high mileage driven.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular consumable replacements. The MOT history confirms that brake discs, pads, and tyres are frequent points of attention for this specific car. Expect typical servicing costs for a petrol hatchback of this age, alongside potential costs for suspension components, which are common failure points for this model aggregate.
Focus heavily on the braking system. The 2023 MOT failure specifically cited worn and pitted front and rear brake discs, as well as thin pads. Ensure these have been replaced recently and that there is no excessive vibration when braking.
Inspect the tyres and wheels carefully. With recent advisories for nearside front tyre wear and a previous failure involving a damaged offside front tyre, as well as a recorded dented/lumped nearside rear wheel, the wheel and tyre condition appears to be a recurring theme. Check for any uneven tread wear which could indicate alignment issues.
This 2014 red KIA Rio 1.4 petrol has covered 123,047 miles since its first registration in June 2014, which is significantly higher than the model average of 6,276 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related issues, including brake components and tyres, with the most recent test in November 2025 noting tyre wear close to the legal limit. While it has passed its recent tests, the cumulative mileage and previous failures suggest a vehicle that has been used heavily.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.4% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being suspension arms, ball joints, and brake pipes.
