Our Verdict
Recommended purchase. This low-mileage e
Verify the service history to ensure the 998cc engine has been maintained according to the manufacturer's schedule. Given the automatic transmission, ensure gear changes are smooth during your test drive.
You should specifically negotiate the price or request proof of replacement if the tyre advisories from the September 2025 MOT—which included perishing and a nail in the offside rear—have not been resolved with new tyres.
The 998cc Euro 6 AP petrol engine is designed for efficiency, ensuring low fuel consumption and a favourable tax band. Insurance groups for the Picanto are generally low, making it an affordable choice for new drivers or city commuters.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are low, though you should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost is modest, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the rear tyres; the September 2025 MOT explicitly mentioned the nearside rear was cracking/perishing and the offside rear had a nail and similar perishing. Confirm these have been replaced rather than simply repaired.
Additionally, check the windscreen wipers and brake pads. These are identified as top failure reasons across the 5,061 Picantos in our aggregate data and should be checked for wear regardless of the low mileage.
This 2022 Grey Kia Picanto X-Line S Auto recorded 10,002 miles at its September 2025 MOT, which is below the model's average annual mileage of 4,173.

With a high aggregate model pass rate of 90.3%, this vehicle represents a low-risk city car option.
The Picanto has a strong reliability reputation, evidenced by a 90.3% average MOT pass rate across a sample of over 5,000 vehicles.
