2014 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · EX64 AED

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 7 August 2025 at 26,556 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This mirrors the outcomes of the four previous annual tests dating back to 2021, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is remarkably low for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 2,213 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase, rising from 18,963 miles in August 2021 to 26,556 miles by August 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing sequence, suggesting the car has been used for short, infrequent journeys rather than sitting dormant for years. While the MOT record is flawless, the low mileage and age of the vehicle introduce specific risks not captured by a standard test. Long periods of light use often lead to perished rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should physically inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting caused by inactivity. The absence of any flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust leaks over five years is positive, but the low usage pattern makes a check of the battery health and oil condition essential. Ensure the brakes do not feel spongy and that the engine reaches operating temperature quickly, as short trips can lead to carbon build-up and moisture accumulation in the exhaust system.
