2022 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · FN22 HRL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 16 February 2026 at 50,409 miles resulted in a pass with no mechanical defects. The only minor advisory concerned a splitting near-side wiper blade, which is a routine consumable item and does not indicate any underlying mechanical failure or neglect of the vehicle. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-frequency use for a city car, averaging approximately 12,600 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 36,536 miles and the February 2026 test, the vehicle covered 13,873 miles in exactly twelve months. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which often prevents issues related to seized components or long periods of standing. The lack of any recorded failures in the 2025 test suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle well during that period of relatively high mileage. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to higher-than-average wear. A buyer should check the condition of the brake pads and discs for signs of uneven wear, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature fatigue due to the annual mileage. While the record shows no structural corrosion issues, the remaining tread depth on the tyres should be measured to ensure they are consistent with the 50,000-mile interval.
