2017 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · FV17 OTF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass in its most recent test in March 2026 at 79,435 miles. This latest inspection showed no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the history shows a failure in February 2025 at 70,120 miles, the subsequent pass just ten days later suggests that the issue was identified and rectified quickly rather than representing chronic mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per annum. Between March 2023 at 51,899 miles and March 2026 at 79,435 miles, the car covered roughly 27,500 miles, showing a steady rate of use. There is no evidence of long periods of stationery which often lead to seized brakes or degradation of rubber components, nor are there any sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest premature wear on the drivetrain or suspension components. Given the lack of recurring advisories in the most recent records, a buyer should focus on a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this mileage. The record does not flag specific suspension bushes or structural corrosion, but a manual check of the wheel arches and underbody for surface rust remains necessary. Consider examining the brake discs for thinning or pitting and check the tyres for uneven wear, as the MOT only monitors these items when they reach legal limits or safety hazards.
