2017 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · AV67 CMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 October 2025 at 21,774 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test revealed a minor lapse in basic consumable inspections. While the car failed the initial test due to a split windscreen wiper and a worn offside front tyre, both issues were addressed prior to the re-test, suggesting the owner is responsive to documented faults once they are identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,419 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the car covered only 9,266 miles, indicating a pattern of short-distance use or long periods of inactivity. This low annual mileage generally results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly. However, such low-mileage patterns can sometimes lead to issues like flat spots on tyres or degradation of rubber seals if the vehicle is not driven over longer distances regularly. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front tyre alignment, as the 2025 failure noted the tyre was worn on the edge, which often points to tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low usage, a physical check of the brake discs is necessary to identify surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occur when vehicles sit for extended periods. The record shows no historical structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures since 2022, which suggests the chassis remains in good condition despite its age.
