2018 KIA Picanto 2 1.0L Petrol · LXZ 8035

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean maintenance record. The most recent test conducted on 3 June 2024 at 64,490 miles passed with zero defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the previous owner has maintained the car to a high standard. This clean sweep across three consecutive years suggests a stable mechanical condition where faults have not been neglected. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 34,057 miles and the April 2023 test at 48,293 miles, the car covered 14,236 miles, followed by another 16,197 miles in the year leading up to the June 2024 test. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use which is often beneficial for preventing the internal issues associated with long periods of standing stationary. Since the MOT history shows no recurring issues with structural corrosion or mechanical component failure, a buyer should focus on standard physical inspections of consumable items that fall between tests. Given the age and mileage, pay attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as the MOT does not test these until they fail. Check the brake discs for uneven pitting or thinning and ensure the tyre tread depth is consistent with the recorded mileage.
