2018 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · FG68 ORW

The 2018 Kia Picanto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 41,111 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, no recurring advisories, and no structural or mechanical concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 41,111 miles for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,139 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady low use: 21,934 miles at the 29 September 2022 test, 28,673 miles by 28 September 2023, 35,016 miles at 23 September 2024, and 41,111 miles by 23 September 2025. Annual accumulation holds near 6,000 to 7,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The only anomaly is a failed entry on 28 September 2023 at 28,673 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed the same day by a pass at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault. A clean MOT trail with zero advisories means the buyer should still verify in person what tests do not capture. Low mileage and likely periods of standing can allow corrosion to develop on brake discs, suspension bushes, and underbody structures even when the tester records no defects. Inspect the exhaust system, subframes, and sills for rust, and confirm the brakes are free from binding after storage. Given the sparse but consistent record, previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The absence of tyre, wiper, or emission flags across five tests implies routine servicing. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm tyre condition and fluid intervals not visible in MOT data.
