2014 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · LX64 XMZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 50,899 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable after a period of concern in mid-2025 which was promptly addressed. Since that failure, the car has undergone two consecutive tests without any advisories or defects, indicating that the owner responded to mechanical and electrical faults to bring the vehicle back up to the standard. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 50,899 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging approximately 4,242 miles per year. The usage pattern shows consistent intervals, with roughly 3,500 miles driven between August 2024 and August 2025, and another 3,225 miles covered between August 2025 and April 2026. This low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation or brake seizing due to periods of low use. A buyer should verify the repairs previously noted during the August 2025 failure at 47,673 miles. The tester flagged an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL), a faulty nearside front daytime running light, and ineffective wiper blades. While these were resolved, a physical inspection must ensure the engine management system is correctly reporting faults and that the electrical system has no intermittent issues. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for corrosion and calipers for binding, which often affects vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
