2009 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · AD59 SYO

The 2009 Kia Picanto currently holds a failed MOT status from the 11 November 2024 test at 119,897 miles, with no defects formally recorded against that failure. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly at the 10 November 2023 test (112,683 miles) and the 19 November 2022 test (105,839 miles), following an earlier failure on 12 November 2022 at 105,796 miles that also logged no defects. The maintenance trend appears broadly stable across the recorded period, though the most recent failure leaves the car unroadworthy until the cited issue is addressed and documented. Recorded mileage rose from 99,437 in November 2021 to 119,897 by November 2024, an average of roughly 6,820 miles per year, consistent with the vehicle's 17-year lifespan and typical use. The jump from 105,796 to 105,839 miles between the two November 2022 tests shows a rapid retest turnaround within a week. Aside from that cluster, annual accumulation stayed even with no sudden spikes or dormant gaps suggesting long-term standing. The MOT data shows no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. A buyer should still confirm structural integrity and check for undocumented wear, given the age and the unexplained November 2024 failure with zero recorded defects. Given the clean advisory history and ordinary mileage, previous owners appear to have kept basic consumable upkeep in order. The absent defect text on both failed tests points to an administrative or presentation fault rather than obvious mechanical neglect, but a physical inspection of brakes and underbody remains sensible before purchase.
