2021 KIA Picanto X-Line S Auto 1.0L Petrol · HT21 LZH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 2026-05-23 at 54,435 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of consumable wear, specifically concerning tyre condition. While the vehicle passed the latest inspection, the tester flagged defects related to tyre damage on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. This indicates that while the core mechanical integrity remains sound, routine upkeep of the vehicle's tyres has not been consistently maintained. Mileage accumulation appears stable, with the vehicle recording approximately 10,000 miles annually, which is consistent with its age and the recorded 54,435 miles. The history shows a specific and persistent issue with the rear tyres, which were flagged as slightly damaged or perishing in the 2025-06-07 test at 44,070 miles, and again in the 2026-05-23 test. A previous failure on 2024-06-03 was due to a cut in the front inner tyre, reinforcing the need for careful monitoring of tyre condition and general road debris impact. A buyer should inspect the condition of all four tyres immediately, paying close attention to the sidewalls for signs of cracking or perishing, as this appears to be a recurring concern. Since no major structural or mechanical failures have been recorded in the MOT history, the focus should remain on checking for any signs of underlying corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which is common for vehicles of this age. The suspension components and brake system should be visually checked for any signs of wear or fluid leaks during a physical inspection.
