2011 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · AF54 SAS

The 2011 Kia Picanto presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 January 2026 at 99,906 miles with no defects recorded. The underlying maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of administrative failures immediately followed by passes with no faults listed, which points to paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical decline. Annual mileage sits at a typical 6,660 miles per year for a fifteen-year-old car. The odometer moved from 77,529 miles at the January 2024 pass to 87,299 miles by January 2025, then to 99,906 miles by January 2026, a consistent 10,000-mile yearly increase. The two failed tests on 19 January 2024 at 77,582 miles and 23 January 2026 at 99,866 miles both logged zero defects, suggesting the previous owner presented the vehicle for test before resolving a non-mechanical rejection such as documentation or number plate legibility. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and near-100,000-mile accumulation. The clean advisory history offers no warning of corrosion or exhaust emissions problems, yet fifteen years of use will naturally fatigue rubber components and underbody structure unseen by the MOT lane. Verify the V5C and test certificate align with the two zero-defect failures, since repeated rejected-then-passed sequences imply the seller may cut corners on pre-test preparation. No recurring mechanical fault emerges from the data, but physical checks of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remain sensible on a car of this vintage.
