2018 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · LC68 ATZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 November 2025 at 14,011 miles resulted with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean record across the last five annual tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that has not encountered the mechanical or structural failures common in older vehicles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,751 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 5,585 miles and November 2025 at 14,011 miles, the car covered only 8,426 miles over four years. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, the long intervals between tests imply the vehicle likely sat for extended periods, which can occasionally lead to flat-spotted tyres or the gradual degradation of rubber-based components. While the MOT data shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on components associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer should check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, which often occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Additionally, the suspension bushes should be examined for cracking and the tyres should be checked for age-related hardening despite having significant tread depth. The overall record suggests a well-cared example that has avoided the mechanical stress of high-mile usage.
