2010 KIA Picanto 1.1L Petrol · PN60 AAF

The 2010 Kia Picanto demonstrates a fully roadworthy status with a stable and unremarkable maintenance trend, confirmed by the latest DVSA test on 3 July 2025 at 38,745 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Prior examinations show the same clean outcome: the 20 July 2024 test at 35,873 miles, the 13 July 2023 at 31,974 miles, the 18 July 2022 at 30,502 miles, and the 10 July 2021 at 29,716 miles all returned passes without advisories. This consecutive five-year sequence indicates consistent statutory testing and careful upkeep by previous keepers. Recorded mileage stands at 38,745 after sixteen years, equating to an average annual distance of roughly 2,422 miles. The timeline reveals no abrupt accumulation or suspicious gaps. From 29,716 miles in July 2021 the car covered only 9,029 miles to its 2025 test, with yearly increments between 786 and 3,871 miles. Such low figures suggest gentle urban use or extended periods off the road, yet the punctual annual MOT submissions imply the owner maintained regulatory compliance regardless of limited running. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns appear in the official record, so the buyer faces no flagged risks such as worn tyres, binding calipers, or exhaust corrosion. Nevertheless, age and low mileage can conceal dormant issues. The inspecting party should physically examine suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing rubber, assess subframe and sills for corrosion, and confirm brake discs are free from pitting after standing. The tester noted no emissions failures, but a cold-start check of the catalytic converter and lambda readings remains prudent on a car of this vintage.
