2017 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · N44 CAH

The 2017 Kia Picanto is presently roadworthy, as confirmed by the November 19, 2025 MOT at 45,574 miles which recorded a pass with no defects. The series of annual tests from 2020 onward shows a consistent clean record, indicating stable maintenance rather than a worsening or improving trend. Mileage has increased at an average of roughly 5,000 miles per year, rising from 21,298 miles in May 2020 to 45,574 miles in November 2025. The six‑month COVID‑19 extension in May 2020 produced a modest rise to 26,211 miles by November 2020, after which each subsequent test captured an increment of about 5,000 miles, reflecting light usage and minimal standing periods. A buyer should therefore examine the rear brake assembly, as the 2023 test noted a worn, pitted disc and thin pads, and verify that the rear calipers are not binding and that the suspension bushes and coil springs show no excessive wear or corrosion. Particular attention must be given to structural rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody, as low mileage does not guarantee immunity, and to the condition of the exhaust system and structural integrity of the body mounts. Overall, the vehicle’s maintenance history suggests reliable care, but the recurring brake wear and potential suspension issues warrant a thorough in‑person inspection to confirm that the recorded pass translates into genuine roadworthiness.
