2009 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · FG59 BFL

The Kia Picanto passed its most recent MOT on 25 July 2025 at 45,293 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no mechanical advisories or failures on genuine grounds. The only blemish is an administrative fail logged on 24 July 2025 at the same mileage with no defects cited, followed by a clean pass one day later, and an identical pattern on 23 August 2024 when a no-defect fail preceded a same-day pass at 45,032 miles. These are test-entry anomalies rather than vehicle faults. The odometer shows 44,694 miles at the 21 August 2023 test, rising to just 45,032 by August 2024 and 45,293 by July 2025. That is roughly 600 miles over two years, or about 300 miles annually against a 17-year life of 45,293 total miles. The low and flat mileage implies long periods of storage or very occasional use, not wear from regular driving. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underside and suspension components, as standing vehicles of this age commonly develop structural rust and perished rubber that an MOT with no advisories will not always capture. Check the brake calipers for binding after idle periods and verify tyre sidewall condition, since low-mileage cars often retain aged rubber beyond safe service life. The repeated no-defect fails suggest clerical test errors rather than owner neglect, but confirm the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA entries before purchase.
