2015 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · LO10 WOW

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 shows the vehicle passed with recorded mileage of 60,068 miles. However, the same date includes a failed MOT entry at 60,067 miles, indicating potential inconsistencies in the test outcomes. Key defects listed for the failed test include parking brake inefficiency, a track rod end ball joint with slight play, and worn suspension arm bushes. The rear tyre was also noted as slightly damaged. These issues overlap with previous findings, suggesting persistent mechanical concerns. Recurring defects involve suspension components , particularly the front suspension arm bushes and track rod end ball joints. These were first recorded in 2024 and reappeared in 2025 and 2026, though the 2026 failed MOT explicitly highlights the track rod end play and parking brake issues. The suspension arm bush wear, while not causing excessive movement, may indicate gradual degradation. The rear tyre damage and parking brake inefficiency are newer concerns, potentially linked to recent usage or maintenance gaps. The condition trend shows stability in core issues but no significant improvement.
