2009 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · FL59 AFE

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 10 January 2026 at 53,196 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has suffered very little mechanical degradation. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 3,129 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last four years, moving from 48,746 miles in January 2023 to 53,196 miles in January 2026. This suggests the car has been used for short trips or kept as a secondary vehicle rather than facing the heavy wear associated with motorway commuting. The record shows one failure on 16 January 2023 at 48,744 miles, though it passed on the same day. The lack of any recorded advisories over the last four tests is unusual for a seventeen year old car. It implies the previous owner addressed wear and tear before the tests or that the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment to prevent the typical corrosion found on older chassis. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, brittle suspension bushes, and potential brake caliper seizing due to inactivity. Check for tyre perishing or flat spots if the car has sat stationary for long periods. While the MOT history is flawless, a manual check for structural rust on the underbody is advised given the vehicle's age.
