2004 KIA Picanto 1.1L Petrol · DC04 LUL

The 2004 Kia Picanto shows a passed MOT as of 31 August 2022 at 96,172 miles with no defects recorded, and the available history indicates a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical faults or advisories. The most recent test result confirms the vehicle held roadworthy status at the last official check, roughly three years before the current date of 8 July 2026. Recorded mileage sits at 96,172 against an age of about 22 years, equating to a low average of roughly 4,371 miles per year. The records show almost no accumulation between tests: the car ran just 11 miles from the failed and passed tests of June 2021 (96,161 to 96,163) and only 9 miles between June 2021 and August 2022 (96,163 to 96,172). Such minimal use over a twelve-month span suggests long periods of standing, though the sparse, clean MOT data gives no evidence of neglect or deferred consumable replacement. The August 2022 failure at 96,172 miles carried no defects, and the same applied to the June 2021 failure at 96,161 miles; both were cleared on retest the same day with no work logged. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than underlying vehicle faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection given the low use and three-year test gap. Standing time promotes perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and subframe corrosion even where the MOT logged nothing. Verify the condition of brake calipers for binding after storage, check all fluid intervals, and confirm the genuine reason for the two same-day failure-retest pairs before purchase.
