2018 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · LB18 HDH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 30,512 miles resulted in no defects recorded, following a technical failure just one mile prior. This sequence suggests a minor administrative or sensor-related issue was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The car maintains a clean record across the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,814 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered only 4,456 miles, while the subsequent year saw a slightly higher but still modest increase of 3,306 miles. This low usage indicates light annual travel, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended durations. While the record shows no recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for flat spotting or surface rust which often occurs when a car is infrequently driven. Examine the suspension bushes and tyres sidewalls for cracking, as rubber materials age regardless of low tread depth. Given the lack of structural corrosion warnings in the history, the chassis appears well-preserved, provided the previous owner maintained the regular service schedule despite the low mileage.
