Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example of
Given the very low mileage for a 2014 vehicle, your primary focus should be on ensuring the car has been serviced regularly despite the low usage. Engines can suffer from lack of use just as much as high mileage, so check for a documented service history that includes oil changes at appropriate intervals.
When negotiating, ask for proof of any recent maintenance that may not appear on the MOT record. Because the mileage is so low, also check the condition of rubber components like tyres and belts, as these can age and perish even if they have plenty of tread left.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this a low-cost option for urban environments. You can expect relatively low fuel consumption and a low insurance group, which is typical for this class of small city car.
Maintenance costs for a Picanto are generally predictable, though you should budget for standard items like tyres and brakes. Based on the model's profile, the estimated annual running cost is relatively modest, making it an economical choice for budget-conscious drivers.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, you should remain mindful of common failure points for the KIA Picanto model, such as tyres, exhaust systems, and brake discs. Even with no recent failures, these are the most frequent issues seen across the wider model aggregate data.
Specifically for this car, check the tyres for age-related cracking due to the low mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which can occur on vehicles that are not driven frequently. Finally, ensure the white paintwork is free of significant chips or scratches, as small city cars are often prone to minor cosmetic wear.
This 2014 white KIA Picanto has covered just 35,289 miles in approximately 12 years, which is significantly lower than the model average of 4,760 miles per year. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes since 2022, with the most recent test in August 2025 recording no defects. The vehicle's low mileage and clean recent testing record suggest it has been used sparingly.
The KIA Picanto shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.2% across over 200,000 analysed vehicles.
