2009 KIA Picanto 1.1L Petrol · LS09 UDH

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 94,435 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back several years, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very low stress. The mileage is low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,555 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady, with 8,874 miles added between October 2022 and October 2023, and 4,339 miles added between February 2025 and February 2026. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or significant gaps that would suggest long periods of standing or undocumented heavy use. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding faults. Aside from a technical failure on 25 October 2022 at 75,561 miles which was resolved on the same day, the tester has flagged no issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. The absence of any advisories over the last four years is rare for a vehicle of this age and suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance. A buyer should still focus on age-related degradation that MOT tests often overlook. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as the clean record may not capture early-stage surface rust. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the tyres for perishing or sidewall cracking and verify the condition of the rubber coolant hoses. A physical check of the brake pedal feel will confirm if the calipers have remained free from seizing during periods of light use.
