2013 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · CV63 UHE

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 at 81,796 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any noted advisories, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without chronic mechanical failures. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,292 miles per year. There is a steady increase in usage between tests, moving from 66,429 miles in November 2023 to 74,328 miles in December 2024, and finally reaching 81,796 miles by November 2025. This linear progression indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which typically helps preserve rubber components and prevents battery degradation. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across several years. While this suggests a well-maintained vehicle, the absence of any mentioned wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a thirteen-year-old car. A buyer should verify service records to confirm when these parts were actually replaced, as the MOT only checks for minimum legal limits rather than optimal performance. Focus a physical inspection on the underbody for signs of corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of the chassis. Check the condition of the exhaust system and the depth of the tyre treads. Since the record shows no recurring faults, the primary concern is confirming that routine maintenance, such as oil changes and filter replacements, has been performed consistently outside of the annual testing cycle.
