2011 KIA PICANTO1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official MOT records. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 145,133 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a series of consecutive passes dating back to December 2021, suggesting a reliable compliance history without any recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation appears steady and aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle. Between December 2021 and January 2026, the car covered 18,368 miles, averaging roughly 3,673 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the 9,676 miles per year calculated from the total mileage, indicating the vehicle has seen relatively light use over its lifespan. The intervals between tests are regular, with annual inspections recorded from 2021 through 2024, showing no significant gaps in the regulatory history. Because the MOT history is entirely clean, there are no specific recurring faults such as suspension bushes, brake binding, or exhaust corrosion to flag from previous tests. However, given the total mileage has exceeded 145,000, a physical inspection should focus on high-wear items that MOT tests do not always capture in detail. I recommend checking the condition of the drive belts, suspension dampers, and the integrity of the underside to check for progressive corrosion, which is common in vehicles of this age. The absence of advisories for tyres or wiper blades in recent years suggests the owner has maintained basic consumables. A buyer should still verify the remaining tread depth on all tyres and check the brake pad thickness. While the digital record shows a healthy history, the age of the vehicle means rubber components like engine mounts and various bushings may be nearing the end of their service life regardless of the clean MOT results.
