KIA PICANTO2018 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness state with a stable maintenance trend following a minor rectification period. The most recent inspection on 25 August 2025 at 46,417 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the mechanical and structural condition has maintained consistent standards since the initial tyre issue. The mileage profile reflects low usage for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per annum. Data shows a significant gap in testing between March 2023 and December 2023, where the vehicle covered only 5,468 miles over nine months. However, the subsequent interval shows more consistent use, with a de-facto 5,778-mile increase between the December 2023 and August 2024 tests. The further 8,091-mile increase between August 2024 and August 2025 suggests the car is likely used for short urban trips or remains stationary for extended periods. The only recorded failure occurred on 1 March 2023 at 32,580 miles due to a structural tear in the offside front tyre. This was a straightforward consumable failure rather than a symptom of systemic mechanical neglect. Because the record shows no advisories for suspension bushes, brake components, or corrosion, a buyer should check for flat-spotting or surface rust on the brake discs which often occurs on low-mileage vehicles. A physical inspection of the rubber components is also advised to ensure that the low mileage has not led to per or cracking over time.
