2022 KIA Picanto GT-Line S ISG 1.0L Petrol · FV22 AAJ

The most recent MOT test, completed on 18 March 2026, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the 2025 inspection, which flagged several advisories. The fact that the vehicle passed the latest test without any recorded issues suggests that the previous concerns regarding the registration plate and tyre condition have been rectified, indicating a proactive approach to addressing minor maintenance requirements and ensuring the vehicle remains within legal standards. With a recorded mileage of 32,115 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has covered an average of roughly 8,029 miles per annum. This is a standard usage profile for a vehicle of this class, suggesting it has been used regularly enough to prevent the mechanical stagnation often seen in very low-mileage cars, yet not so heavily that the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems are subject to premature exhaustion. You should expect the wear on consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes to be commensurate with this moderate level of use, rather than showing signs of excessive heavy-duty operation. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the tyre history, as the 2025 advisories specifically mentioned cracking, perishing, and damage to the nearside tyres. During your inspection and test drive, closely examine the sidewalls of all tyres for any signs of age-related perishing or dry rot, which can occur even if tread depth remains sufficient. Check for any uneven tyre wear or vibrations through the steering wheel that might suggest alignment issues or worn suspension components. Additionally, verify that the registration plate has been replaced with a compliant, clear unit. Given the vehicle's age, it is also advisable to confirm that time-based service items, such as brake fluid replacement and battery health checks, have been carried out, and inspect the brake discs for any signs of corrosion or binding that could result from periods of standing, which might manifest as a brake shudder during deceleration.
