The KIA RIO (2005-09) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.4 96 S is a small five-door petrol hatchback, aimed at straightforward, affordable everyday motoring. In the UK used-car market it sits among practical small cars rather than larger family hatchbacks, offering rear doors and a manageable footprint for town streets, parking and errands. mycarcheck.com has recorded 15 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, so these figures offer a snapshot rather than a picture. The cars checked averaged £900 in private-sale valuation and 94,000 miles, with annual mileage around 7,000. They had averaged just under four previous keepers, useful context when assessing an individual car. With five doors and a familiar layout, this Rio suits first-time drivers, commuters and smaller households seeking affordable transport. It competes with the Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Getz, offering practical value and easy day-to-day use. Check condition and service history carefully on any older, budget-priced example before making your decision.
