2017 KIA PICANTO1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 21 July 2025 at 28,635 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes across the last five annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained in good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures during its recorded history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,182 miles per year. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the car covered 3,278 miles, which aligns perfectly with the 3,726 miles recorded in the previous year interval. This consistent low-usage pattern suggests that mechanical wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system is likely minimal. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber components if the car has spent sitting stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no faults, a buyer should focus physical inspections on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, as the rubber age out regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not seized due to infrequent use. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes and split boots for cracks, as these materials can become brittle over time even without high mileage accumulation.
