KIA PICANTO2015 · 1.0L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 19 August 2025 at 21,470 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 1,952 miles per year. Between 30 August 2022 and 19 August 2025, the odometer rose from 14,470 to 21,470 miles. This low usage suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. While the lack of wear on the drivetrain is a positive, long periods of inactivity can lead to specific degradation not always captured in a cursory MOT. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration from disuse rather than wear. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not sticking, as low-mileage city cars often suffer from binding brakes. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking or flat spots, even if the tread depth remains legal. Verify the condition of the battery and all rubber seals or hoses, which can perish over time regardless of mileage. The record shows a failure on 20 August 2024 that was resolved the following day, though no specific defect was listed in the provided data. Confirming the nature of that specific repair will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's immediate history.
