2011 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · DA11 OFW

The 2011 Kia Picanto presents a clean roadworthiness profile as of its most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 67,235 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The records show a consistent pattern of annual testing each August, and the latest pass confirms the car met road standards eleven months before the current date. Mileage accumulation is low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 58,905 miles in August 2023, 62,735 miles at the passed test in August 2024, and 67,235 miles by August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,200 miles per year, well below typical use. The sparse history contains only three test years, with two failed entries on the same dates as passes but no defects listed, suggesting administrative rejections rather than mechanical failure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members that a short MOT test may not capture. The absence of advisories does not exempt the vehicle from age-related wear on consumables. The repeated same-day fail and pass entries at 62,734 and 67,235 miles indicate clerical or documentation issues at the testing station rather than owner neglect. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Verify the V5C and service book to confirm whether interim lubrication and timing belt intervals were observed outside the MOT scope.
