2014 KIA RIO 1 1.2L Petrol · TFZ 7059

The 2014 Kia Rio 1. is presently roadworthy, as the November 2024 MOT at 61,575 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend that has persisted since the September 2022 test. No recurring mechanical failures have been documented across the three consecutive tests, suggesting consistent upkeep. The mileage trajectory shows a gradual increase: from 53,801 miles in September 2022 to 58,889 miles by December 2023, a rise of 5,088 miles over fifteen months, followed by an additional 2,686 miles to the November 2024 reading, averaging roughly 2,300 miles per year. At an estimated 5,131 miles per year for a twelve‑year‑old vehicle, the recorded usage is modest, implying either light operation or extended periods of inactivity, which the clean MOT history supports. A buyer should therefore focus on suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, verify that rear brakes are not binding, inspect brake discs for scoring, and examine the chassis and structural areas for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and sills, while also confirming that the exhaust system meets emission standards. Overall, the vehicle’s low mileage and defect‑free record suggest careful ownership, yet a physical inspection of the highlighted mechanical items remains essential before purchase.
