2022 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · LM72 SPZ

The Kia Picanto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 22 September 2025 at 35,447 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met all statutory safety and emissions standards at that point. No prior failures or advisories appear in the supplied record. The recorded mileage of 35,447 at the September 2025 test equates to roughly 8,862 miles per year across the vehicle's four-year life, a figure consistent with typical private use for this model. The history shows a single clean test entry with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes, so the data is sparse but unremarkable. Low-to-moderate annual use of this nature generally limits wear on drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of recorded advisories means the tester noted no worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake discs at 35,447 miles, but MOT snapshots do not capture incipient wear. Examine tyre sidewalls, brake pad thickness, and underbody for corrosion given the car's age. Given the 2025 pass is roughly ten months old relative to today's date, the certificate remains current but will expire in September 2026. Verify the odometer reading matches the documented 35,447 miles and confirm no private-sale discrepancies exist before purchase.
