2015 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · EY15 ACZ

The 2015 KIA PICANTO has a mixed roadworthiness record, with the most recent test in 2025-03-17 indicating a need for repair. The vehicle failed due to a minor rear exhaust leak and worn front brake pads. This outcome suggests a worsening maintenance trend, with recurring issues related to brake wear and exhaust system integrity. The recorded mileage of 102,699 miles at the time of the most recent test is consistent with the vehicle's age, suggesting typical usage patterns. However, there are some notable gaps in the mileage record, such as the 2018-2019 period, where the vehicle accumulated only 4,479 miles over 14 months. Conversely, the 2022-2023 period saw a relatively rapid accumulation of 12,691 miles over 12 months. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brake system closely, particularly the front brake pads, which have been flagged as a potential issue on multiple occasions. The rear exhaust system also warrants attention, given the recent minor leak detected in the 2025 test. Furthermore, the vehicle's tyres have shown signs of wear and damage over the years, with several instances of cracking or perishing recorded in the MOT history. A thorough examination of the suspension, steering, and drivetrain components is also recommended, given the vehicle's age and mileage.
