2013 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · EXZ 4072

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 25 March 2026 with 114,212 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows two failures immediately preceding successful passes. The failures on 24 March 2026 and 5 February 2025 occurred with no specific defects recorded in the data provided, suggesting minor, easily rectifiable issues such as blown bulbs, wiper blades, or minor fluid leaks that were addressed prior to the retest rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,786 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 104,987 miles and the February 2025 test at 111,054 miles, the car covered 6,067 miles. The more recent interval of 3,158 miles between February 2025 and March 2026 indicates lower recent usage. This suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive strain on the drivetrain or suspension components typically associated with high-mileage motorway commuting. Because the record lacks specific recurring advisories or structural defects, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis for surface corrosion, which is common on Kia models of this era. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear, as these components often degrade at this age. Given the mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its functional life.
