2014 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · EX64 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance history based on the available data, though the record is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 20 October 2021 at 13,640 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the car has not undergone a documented MOT test in nearly five years relative to the current date of 18 July 2026. This creates a substantial gap in the known roadworthiness of the vehicle. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 1,137 miles per year. Between the 2017 test at 12,319 miles and the final 2021 entry at 13,640 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,321 miles over four years. Such low usage suggests the car may have spent long periods stationary, which often leads to different mechanical issues than those caused by high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components prone to degradation during long-term storage. Check for perishing rubber seals, cracked tyres, and seized brake calipers. The lack of recent testing means there is no current data on brake disc corrosion or the condition of the suspension bushes. Verify if the battery has been maintained and check for any signs of rodent damage to the wiring looms. Inspect the exhaust system and fuel lines for rust or leaks that can develop when a vehicle sits idle. Given the absence of any recorded defects between 2017 and 2021, the car was well-maintained in its early life, but the current five year void in the MOT history is the primary risk. A full mechanical health check is essential to ensure the vehicle is safe for road use.
