2018 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · G14 NAR

The MOT history for this 2018 Kia Picanto shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last four years. The most recent test on 6 September 2025 shows a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure earlier that same day. While the specific cause of that failure is not documented in the provided record, the vehicle achieved a clean pass immediately thereafter. The vehicle has covered 35,757 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 4,470 miles per year. This represents low annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records from 2022 through 2025 show consistent annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection timeline. Because the 2025 failure does not specify the mechanical component involved, a physical inspection is necessary to confirm the current state of the braking system and suspension. The lack of recorded advisories regarding tyre tread, wiper blades, or brake pad wear in previous years suggests these consumables have not reached critical levels recently, but the low usage pattern may mean components like tyres have aged through time rather than wear. A prospective buyer should check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or suspension component degradation, such as worn bushes or leaking dampers, which can sometimes occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Given the clean pass in the most recent 2025 test, the primary focus should remain on verifying that the issue causing the initial failure on that date has been fully rectified.
