2014 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · CO13 ARN

The Kia Picanto presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 13 February 2025 at 88,823 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The test one day earlier on 12 February 2025 at the same mileage returned a fail with no defects recorded, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared the following day. Every prior annual test from 2022 through 2024 passed with no advisories or defects logged. The odometer shows 88,823 miles against a 2014 build, an average of roughly 7,400 miles per year and consistent with typical use for the age. Mileage moved from 70,424 in February 2022 to 79,037 in February 2023, then 85,378 in March 2024, and 88,823 by February 2025. The yearly increments sit between 3,300 and 6,900 miles with no sudden accumulation or extended dormancy visible in the record. The clean sequence of passes with zero advisories points to a lightly used car whose previous keepers addressed requirements before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The absence of recorded advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion received no flagged attention, not that they were confirmed sound. At twelve years old, structural integrity and hidden rust on sills or subframes warrant close checking, as DVSA testers may not strip panels. Given the 2025 failure carried no listed defect, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the rejection cause was administrative. Tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels remain consumable items outside the scope of a clean history and should be assessed on viewing.
