2018 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · LL18 OEY

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 24 May 2025 at 36,997 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of perfect passes extends back at least four years, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has operated without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,625 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 18,693 miles and May 2024 at 35,406 miles, the car covered 16,713 miles, indicating a slight increase in usage compared to the earlier years. However, the interval of only 1,591 miles since the last test confirms continued annual use. Such low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components due to periods of inactivity. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should still physically inspect for signs of low-mileage storage, such as dry rot on tyres or perished suspension bushes. Because the car has not been extensively, check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure calipers are not seized from sitting. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the history, but a visual check of the underbody for surface corrosion remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
