2017 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · DV17 EYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 73,698 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently achieved passes without recorded advisories over the last three years. While the record shows two failures immediately preceding the passes in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were minor issues rectified quickly rather than indicative of systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,189 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 61,438 miles and the March 2025 test at 68,631 miles, the car covered 7,193 miles, with another 5,067 miles recorded in the final year leading to the 2026 test. This suggests regular, moderate use which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components compared to vehicles with long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no specific mechanical faults or advisories, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of common wear points for this model. Check the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust hangers, and inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning, as the clean MOT record does not account for the state of consumable items between annual tests.
