2009 KIA Picanto 1.1L Petrol · CV59 ANF

The 2009 Kia Picanto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 60,312 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 21 October 2024 at 52,683 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared successive annual examinations without outstanding advisories. Recorded mileage sits at 60,312 against an approximate 17-year lifespan, equating to around 3,548 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light annual use: 49,138 miles on 10 October 2023, rising to 52,675 by the 14 October 2024 failure and 52,683 at the retest one week later, then 60,312 by July 2025. The October 2024 fail and immediate pass at near-identical mileages suggest a minor rectification rather than neglect, though the sparse history with two zero-defect failures on the same day in October 2023 limits insight into wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low standing mileage, which can accelerate corrosion and permit caliper binding through disuse. The clean MOT record flags no structural integrity concerns or exhaust emissions faults, yet the absence of advisories across this period may reflect test tolerance rather than component condition on an ageing city car. Verify underbody for rust and check tyre sidewall cracking before purchase. Low yearly coverage means fluid degradation and perished rubber remain plausible despite the unblemished test lineage.
