2018 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · DU68 BZB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 31,341 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for the offside front headlamp aim being too high. This is a minor adjustment issue that does not indicate mechanical neglect. Prior to this, the car maintained three consecutive passes without any recorded defects, suggesting the primary mechanical components remain well-maintained. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,918 miles annually. Between October 2021 at 16,708 miles and October 2025 at 31,341 miles, the car covered 14,633 miles. This low-intensity usage profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, low-mileage-age vehicles can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake discs if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the nearside front tyre specifically, as the 2024 test at 28,771 miles flagged it as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This uneven wear often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre failure. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for surface rust on the brake discs and any cracking in the tyres, which are common in vehicles not used regularly.
