2017 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · N33 AAN

The vehicle holds a clean and stable MOT record, with the most recent test on 21 January 2026 at 43,925 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual test across the history has passed without any advisories, which points to consistent mechanical upkeep rather than a vehicle that is just scraping through. The single failure on 14 May 2025 at 41,903 miles was cleared on the same day with no defects listed, suggesting a minor rectification such as a bulb or a tyre rather than a structural or brake system issue. The mileage pattern shows an average of roughly 4,881 miles per year, which is low for a nine-year-old car. The recorded jumps are all steady and evenly spaced, with 5,478 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and a further 2,022 miles over the following eight months. There are no large gaps in the record that would suggest long periods of standing, nor any sudden spikes that would indicate heavy motorway use or hard driving. Given that no advisories have been flagged at any test, there are no recurring faults to track for a worsening trend. A buyer should still carry out a routine in-person inspection of items that tend to degrade with age rather than mileage, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for surface corrosion. Checking for binding rear calipers and verifying tyre tread depth across all four corners are straightforward steps that fall outside the scope of the recorded pass conditions. The DVSA history itself gives no cause for concern.
