2021 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · ML71 EUP

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 9 September 2025 at 23,210 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the previous owner has maintained the car to a standard where all primary mechanical and structural components remained within legal tolerances at the time of testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 21,885 miles and the September 2025 test, the car covered only 1,325 miles, suggesting very infrequent or short-distance use. Such low mileage typically results in minimal wear on drivetrain components and suspension assemblies, though it can occasionally lead to minor corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between journeys. Because the MOT history shows no recurring faults or warnings, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for flat spots on tyres and corrosion on brake discs, which can occur when a car is not driven frequently. Inspect the rubber bushes in the suspension arms for cracking or perish, as age-related degradation can affect these parts regardless of low mileage. Ensure the service history matches the MOT data to confirm that oil changes occurred annually despite the low distance covered.
