2010 KIA Picanto 2 1.1L Petrol · AXZ 2706

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend across its documented history. The most recent test conducted on 24 June 2025 at 29,825 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This consistent performance suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the mechanical or structural degradation typical of vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,864 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the December 2022 test at 8,277 miles and the May 2024 test at 17,889 miles, where over 9,600 miles were covered in seventeen months. While the low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to issues related to rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical friction. Given the lack of any recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. Particular attention is required for tyre sidewall cracking and the condition of suspension rubber bushes, as low-mileage vehicles often sit stationary for extended periods. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or caliper seizing, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from effectively cleaning the surfaces despite the clean MOT record.
