2018 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · AF68 CDN

The 2018 Kia Picanto presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 2025-07-08 at 36,133 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. The vehicle cleared its July 2025 examination one week after an initial failure on 2025-07-01 at 36,129 miles that also carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical concern. Annual mileage sits low at roughly 4,517 miles per year against an eight-year lifespan, with 36,133 miles recorded to date. The odometer advanced from 26,107 miles at the July 2023 pass to 31,683 miles by July 2024, then to 36,133 miles by July 2025, showing consistent yearly use near 5,000 miles. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the clean record across all five entries indicates light, steady running with no consumable or structural flags raised by any tester. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's low mileage and likely periods of standing, which can permit corrosion or seized components unseen in a fault-free MOT. The repeated fail-pass pairs in July 2024 and July 2025 with zero defects logged imply the previous owner may have presented the vehicle without correct documentation or minor preparation, rather than neglecting upkeep. Verify the V5C and test certificate alignment for those two failed slots, and confirm tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions during a cold start. The DVSA data alone shows no worsening pattern, but sparse advisories at this age warrant a independent mechanical check before purchase.
