KIA PICANTO2012 · 1.2L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 May 2025 at 55,314 miles. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted during the final inspection. While the car failed its tests on 8 May 2025 and 13 May 2024, the lack of recorded defects in the data suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 14 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,951 miles per year. Between 4 May 2023 at 48,026 miles and 12 May 2025 at 55,314 miles, the car covered only 7,288 miles over two years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short urban trips, which can lead to specific degradation issues not always captured in a standard MOT. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and rubber components. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from binding calipers or pitted brake discs due to inactivity. Check for perished suspension bushes and cracked tyre sidewalls, as rubber degrades with age regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion, particularly on the chassis and exhaust system, as low usage in damp environments can accelerate rust. Verify the battery health and oil condition to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing without proper circulation.
