2011 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · CV61 EHC

The Kia Picanto presents as roadworthy following the October 2025 test, where the DVSA logged a pass at 87,762 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the recent history. The October 2025 entry also shows a failed attempt on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, mirroring an identical fail-pass pair from October 2024 at 82,656 miles. Such duplicate records with zero faults suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical defects, and no worsening pattern emerges. Annual mileage sits low at roughly 5,851 miles per year against the vehicle's 2011 build date. The record moves from 73,978 miles in October 2023 to 82,656 in October 2024, then 87,762 by October 2025, equating to about 8,700 and 5,100 miles in the respective years. The clean pass sheet with no advisories across all three years indicates either light use or a vehicle that has spent periods stationary, with no rapid accumulation to flag. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fifteen years. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet long standing periods can hide perished rubber components and binding calipers not caught in a clean test. Verify the exhaust emissions and underbody for rust during a ramp check before purchase.
