2015 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · EK65 AAO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 with 36,782 miles. While the history shows a pattern of failure on the day preceding the pass in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passing tests contained no recorded defects. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three years indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum safety standards under testing conditions. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 36,782 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only approximately 3,344 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with 1,901 miles driven between the October 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 1,855 miles between October 2024 and 2025. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips, which reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain but can sometimes lead to premature degradation of rubber-based components and brake hardware due to inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components sensitive to low-use patterns, specifically checking for sidewalling on tyres and corrosion on brake discs which may not be scrubbed clean. Because the MOT history shows failures without recorded defects, the previous issues were likely related to minor items such as bulbs, wipers, or minor lighting adjustments that were rectified immediately. An inspection of the suspension bushes for cracking and the chassis for surface rust remains necessary, as low mileage does not protect a vehicle from environmental oxidation over a decade.
