2017 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · NJ17 EYV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 65,758 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit. While the car has passed its last three tests, the recurring nature of the brake and tyre issues suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach the MOT failure threshold. At 65,758 miles over nine years, the Picanto has averaged approximately 7,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage patterns. The mileage progression shows steady use, with a jump of over 9,000 miles recorded between October 2021 and October 2022, and another 8,200 miles between September 2023 and 2024. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of തന്നെ, which can often lead to accelerated internal corrosion of rubber and metal components. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system during a physical inspection. The record shows a persistent trend of pitted and scored brake discs dating back to 2021, alongside multiple failures for low parking brake efficiency in both 2021 and 2022. Although these were corrected to pass, the recurring surface pitting suggests the rear components may be prone to moisture damage or that the parking brake mechanism is beginning to seize due to the age of the vehicle. The tyre history also highlights a lack of routine replacement, with advisories for worn edges in both 2023 and 2025, as well as perishing on rear tyres in 2024. The uneven wear on the nearside front tyre indicates a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that has not yet been diagnosed. Given that no structural corrosion has been recorded in the history, the focus should remain on the mechanical condition of the suspension and the current state of the rubber components to ensure no hidden costs are imminent.
