Our Verdict

Avoid this 2007 Kia Picanto due to repeated MOT failures and high mileage for its age. Significant brake, suspension, and exhaust issues raise major concerns.

This vehicle requires extreme caution. Insist on a full mechanical inspection, focusing on the braking system, suspension, and exhaust. The repeated brake imbalance failures (2016, 2017) and suspension issues (2016) suggest underlying mechanical problems. Negotiate aggressively due to the high risk of costly repairs. Check for service records to confirm maintenance history, though the MOT failures indicate possible neglect. Avoid if the seller cannot explain the 2016/2017 issues.
