2022 KIA Picanto Shadow ISG 1.0L Petrol · FN22 HRU

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean record in the previous year to an advisory indicates a shift requiring attention. The tester flagged the nearside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit and uneven, suggesting that while the vehicle is mechanically sound, basic consumable maintenance is now reaching a replacement interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test at 18,014 miles and the March 2026 test at 24,511 miles, the car covered 6,497 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the braking system components and engine seals by preventing seizing or corrosion due to inactivity. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry to determine the cause of the uneven wear on the nearside front tyre. Edge wear often points to misaligned tracking, worn ball joints, or perished control arm bushes. Since no structural corrosion or mechanical brake-related failures were recorded in the available history, the primary focus should remain on these front-end wear components to prevent further rapid degradation of new tyres.
