2017 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · WO17 AEC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-19 recorded a pass at 114,845 miles, but an identical date also shows a failure with no defects noted, creating ambiguity in the record. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recorded issues in these tests suggests the car has been well-maintained, though the duplicate failure entry warrants verification to confirm accuracy. The mileage progression shows rapid accumulation, with 61,635 miles in 2022 rising to 114,845 by 2025—a 53,210-mile increase over three years. This equates to an average of 17,737 miles annually, exceeding the typical 12,761 figure cited. The 2023-2024 jump from 80,385 to 101,570 miles (21,185 miles) reflects a sharp rise, which may correlate with increased wear on components like tyres, suspension bushes, and brake discs. The sparse defect history does not indicate systemic issues but does not account for potential hidden deterioration from high usage. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates such wear. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was driven in harsh conditions. Structural integrity, including rust on underbody components, is critical given the mileage, though no corrosion was flagged in the MOT records. The duplicate failure entry on 2025-05-19 should be clarified with the DVSA to confirm the vehicle’sTrue compliance status.
