2017 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · MD17 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 22,917 miles with no defects recorded. This result follows a consistent history of clean passes, despite a single failure recorded in February 2025. The immediate recovery following that 2025 failure suggests that any mechanical issues identified at that time were addressed promptly, indicating an owner who maintains a baseline of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,546 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 17,854 miles and the February 2024 test at 19,008 miles, the car covered only 1,154 miles. While this low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or flat-spotting tyres, which are not always fully captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for sidew cracking or flat-spotting, and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs with infrequent use. Given the record shows no structural advisories in recent years, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a close look at the suspension bushes and fluid lines is advisable to ensure they have not become brittle with age.
