Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prospective buyers should prioritize the cost of addressing the current MOT advisories. Specifically, negotiate the price based on the need for new rear brake discs and the replacement of heavily corroded rear brake backing plates. The persistent advisories regarding the front suspension arm pins and bushes, which have appeared in every test since 2022, suggest these components are nearing the end of their usable life.
Verify the condition of the offside front seat belt, as the latest MOT record notes fraying, which is a safety concern. Ensure that any agreed price reflects the fact that this vehicle has covered substantially more mileage than a typical Picanto of this age, increasing the likelihood of wear-and-tear repairs.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption and placing the car in a lower insurance group. Tax for this engine size is typically affordable, making it a cost-effective choice for urban commuting.
However, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model due to the 100k+ mileage. Expect increased spending on suspension components and braking systems. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance for a high-mileage vehicle of this age, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
A thorough inspection of the rear braking system is essential; the 2026 MOT specifically mentions binding brakes and heavily corroded backing plates. Check the rear brake discs for the pitting and scoring noted in the last two years of testing. The front suspension should be checked for excessive play in the arm pins and bushes, as these have been flagged as worn since December 2022.
Additionally, inspect the nearside rear tyre for the cracking and perishing mentioned in the latest report, and examine the webbing of the offside front seat belt for fraying. While the vehicle has been undersealed, check the areas around the brake components where corrosion has already been recorded.
This white 2014 Kia Picanto has covered 102,615 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,778 miles per year. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes, but the latest report identifies multiple concerns across the brakes, suspension, and safety equipment. The vehicle has been undersealed, which may mitigate some chassis corrosion, though specific components remain affected.
The Kia Picanto has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 80.3%, with common failure points typically involving tyres, headlamps, and anti-roll bars.
