2010 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · CV10 MLO

The 2010 Kia Picanto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 June 2025 at 144,220 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects under official inspection. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a sixteen-year-old car. The record shows 94,051 miles in May 2022, rising to 114,445 by June 2023, then 133,458 in June 2024 and 144,220 in June 2025. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 20,000 miles per year, with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The clean pass history across this span suggests consistent use and basic upkeep rather than neglect or long dormant periods. A failed test on 2 June 2023 at 114,442 miles carries no recorded defects, with a clean pass logged the same day at 114,445 miles. This points to an administrative or data-entry anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The owner corrected or re-presented the car within hours, implying no workshop repair was needed. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear. At 144,220 miles, tyres, wiper blades, and coil springs may carry unseen fatigue not captured in a pass result. Verify the 2023 duplicate entry with DVSA paperwork before purchase.
