2021 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · FL71 LZC

The 2021 KIA Picanto has a recent MOT result from 2025-10-21, recorded at 28,472 miles, which shows it passed with one minor issue: front brake pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). This indicates a safety-critical component nearing replacement. The prior MOT in 2024-10-30, at 21,529 miles, noted tyre cracking across all tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)), a condition that could compromise grip and safety. Both issues are separate, with no direct overlap in the reported faults. The vehicle’s mileage of 28,472 miles over five years equates to roughly 5,694 miles annually, which is lower than average for its age. However, the gap between the 2024 and 2025 MOTs shows a significant increase of 6,943 miles in one year, suggesting more active use during that period. This could accelerate wear on components like brakes, tyres, and suspension. The brake pad issue in 2025 implies that the vehicle may have experienced heavier braking demands, possibly due to urban driving or frequent stops. The trend of faults appears stable, with no recurring or escalating issues. The tyre cracking from 2024 was addressed, as no further mention of tyres exists in the 2025 MOT.
