2009 KIA Picanto 1 1.0L Petrol · AFZ 3504

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-29 resulted in a pass at 104,274 miles, with no defects recorded . This follows a fail on 2025-07-03 at 104,043 miles, also with no defects . The pattern of alternating pass/fail outcomes without recorded issues is unusual and suggests potential administrative or procedural factors, such as testing errors or incomplete inspections, rather than mechanical failures. The MOT history shows no defects in any of the recorded tests, including earlier passes in 2024 and 2022. This indicates the vehicle has consistently met safety standards, but the repeated fails without recorded problems raise questions about the reliability of the MOT results. The lack of defects in all entries implies no significant safety or repair risks were identified, though the instability in pass/fail outcomes is concerning. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,274 miles over 17 years averages 6,134 miles per year , which aligns with typical usage for its age. This suggests no extreme wear from high mileage or prolonged under-use, as the figure falls within a normal range. However, the absence of detailed defect records limits confidence in the vehicle’s mechanical health beyond what was tested. The main risk lies in the inconsistent MOT outcomes without documented issues, which could indicate overlooked problems or testing inconsistencies.
