2014 KIA Picanto 1 1.0L Petrol · TFZ 7023

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. The MOT test on January 6, 2026, at 55,885 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. The anomalous failure recorded on December 19, 2025, at 55,605 miles suggests administrative error or a clerical retest, as no specific defects were listed and the vehicle passed again just three weeks later. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per year. Data shows a steady usage rate, such as the 1,766 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2024, and another 2,500 miles between January 2024 and December 2025. This low annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluids due to periods of inactivity. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas commonly affected by low-mileage vehicles. Check for dry rot or cracking in suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which perish over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or binding calipers, as infrequent use often leads to rust buildup. Additionally, examine the chassis for structural rust around the sills and wheel arches to ensure the low mileage has prevented prevented decay despite the vehicle's age.
