KIA PICANTO2012 · 1.2L PETROL

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 11 February 2026 at 21,895 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of failure-free tests dating back at least five years, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 1,564 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady and low, moving from 16,936 miles in February 2022 to 21,895 miles by February 2026. Such low usage suggests the car has lived a sheltered life, though it also raises the possibility of long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no recurring mechanical faults to highlight. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over five years is uncommon for a vehicle of this age. The record implies a high standard of preventative care by the previous owner. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the tyre dates for perishing or flat spots caused by standing and inspect the brake calipers for seizure or binding. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the clean MOT records, a quick check for surface corrosion on the underside is advised to confirm the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment.
