2015 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · CK06 HAZ

The most recent MOT test on May 22nd, 2026, passed, but it noted a specific issue: corrosion on the offside rear upper brake pipe, covered in grease or other material. There is a recurring mechanical pattern concerning the braking system, as evidenced by the failure in May 2025 where both the nearside and offside rear service brakes were found to be excessively binding. The trend in the MOT history shows a fluctuation; while there were clean passes in 2023 and 2024, the failure in May 2025 indicated immediate mechanical issues, followed by a pass in May 2026 with a noted corrosion issue. This suggests the condition is currently stable but with specific component wear being noted. The mileage of 70,727 miles on a vehicle that is about eleven years old places the usage around 6,430 miles per year, which is considered typical for its age. This mileage level suggests a moderate level of wear on consumables, suspension, and drivetrain components. A buyer should immediately inspect the braking system components, paying close attention to the rear brake pipes for any signs of corrosion or leaks. Also, thoroughly check the light switch function and the registration plate lights as these were noted as faulty in a previous test.
