KIA PICANTO2013 · 1.0L Petrol

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 30,273 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 2,329 miles per year. Between 7 January 2022 and 19 January 2026, the odometer rose from 21,235 to 30,273 miles. This represents an increase of only 9,038 miles over four years. Such low usage suggests the car has likely served as a secondary vehicle or has been used for short, local journeys. While the absence of MOT failures or advisories is positive, the low mileage pattern introduces specific risks. Vehicles that spend long periods standing often suffer from perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded tyre compounds regardless of tread depth. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and check for any signs of corrosion on the brake discs. The lack of recorded faults in the suspension bushes or exhaust system is encouraging, but the low annual mileage can lead to moisture buildup in the exhaust and oil sludge if service intervals were ignored. Verify the service history to ensure the oil was changed by time rather than mileage. A physical check of the battery health and fluid levels is recommended to confirm the car has not suffered from prolonged inactivity.
