2018 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · FY18 DSE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 October 2025 at 60,262 miles returned no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems were fully compliant at that time. This follows a clean result from October 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep over the last two years. The recorded mileage of 60,262 miles reflects an average usage of approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for an eight-old vehicle. The data shows a steady usage pattern between March 2021 and October 2025, where the car covered roughly 21,600 miles over four years. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which is generally beneficial for drivetrain components and seals compared to low-mileage-disused cars. A buyer should pay attention to the minor advisory regarding the nearside rear tyre noted during the January 2024 test at 49,357 miles. While the vehicle passed subsequently, the perishing or damage to rubber indicates that consumable items are reaching age-related limits rather than mileage-related wear. A physical inspection should verify the current tyres for sidewall cracking and tread depth. Additionally, the recurring mentions of child seat obstructions in 2021 and 2022 were administrative testing issues and do not indicate mechanical failure, but they confirm the vehicle was used as a family transport during those periods.
