KIA PICANTO2017 · 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. In the most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 27,044 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a sequence of three consecutive clean passes since 2022, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have remained within DVSA standards without recurring failures or escalating degradation over the last three years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 8,583 miles, suggesting infrequent use or short-distance commuting. The only anomaly in the history occurred on 18 November 2022 at 18,391 miles, where the vehicle failed the test. However, the immediate pass just seven days later at 18,462 miles suggests a minor adjustment issue that was rectified instantly rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus inspection on components affected by low-mileage operation rather than typical wear and tear. Low annual mileage often leads to brake corrosion due to lack of use and drying out of rubber components like suspension bushes and seals. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and check the tyres for sidewall cracking despite potentially having deep tread depth. Given the lack of structural rust or exhaustrelated advisories in the records, the vehicle appears to have been well-preserved despite its age.
