2017 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · MD66 VFT

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 65,289 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable trend of perfect scores over the last five years suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle proactively, addressing any emerging mechanical issues before they could escalate into MOT failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 7,250 miles per year. Between the January 2022 test at 26,770 miles and the January 2026 test at 65,289 miles, the car covered 38,519 miles, which aligns with typical light road use. There are no signs of rapid mileage accumulation that would indicate heavy commercial strain on the drivetrain, and the relatively low annual mileage suggests reduced wear on the suspension bushes and engine components compared to higher-mileage examples. Because the MOT record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake failures, or suspension defects, a physical inspection should focus on age-related perishables that do not always trigger a failure. A buyer should check the condition of the rubber seals and wiper blades for cracking, as low mileage can sometimes lead to materials hardening over time. Given the clean history, verifying the brake discs for surface pitting and ensuring the brake fluid has been replaced recently are the primary steps to confirm the mechanical integrity of the vehicle.
