2011 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · CV61 PYA

The Kia Picanto passed its most recent MOT on 3 October 2024 at 111,926 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. The owner corrected a failed test two days earlier on 1 October 2024 at 111,861 miles, though the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded against that failure, suggesting an administrative or unlogged presentation issue rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage rose from 95,560 in the 14 October 2022 test to 103,288 at the 2 October 2023 failure, then to 103,596 on the 10 October 2023 pass, reaching 111,861 by the 1 October 2024 failure. That equates to roughly 7,462 miles per year, typical for a 2011 vehicle. The clean record with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across all five entries points to consistent if basic upkeep, though the sparse data limits deeper wear analysis on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's fifteen-year age, as MOT entries with no defects recorded do not rule out early-stage rust or degraded coil springs. The twin failures on 2 October 2023 and 1 October 2024 with zero logged defects warrant direct enquiry with the testing station to confirm whether binding calipers or undocumented faults triggered the rejects.
