Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example for
The primary focus for this vehicle should be the tyres. The 2025 MOT recorded cracking and perishing on both the nearside and offside rear tyres; ensure these have been replaced or budget for immediate replacement, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth.
Given the extremely low mileage, you should verify that the vehicle has been serviced regularly to prevent seals and gaskets from drying out. Ask for evidence of oil changes, as a car that sits idle for long periods can suffer more than one used frequently. Check the brake discs and exhaust system during your inspection, as these are the most common failure points for this model according to aggregate data.
The 1.1-litre petrol engine is designed for economy, making this an affordable choice for urban environments. You can expect low insurance groups and relatively inexpensive tax bands typical for a small-capacity city car from this era.
Maintenance costs should be manageable, though you should account for age-related consumables like tyres and batteries. Given the low annual mileage, your estimated annual running costs will be primarily driven by fuel and basic servicing rather than heavy wear-and-tear repairs.
Specifically inspect the condition of all four tyres. The 2025 MOT history explicitly noted perishing on the rear tyres, which suggests the rubber may be reaching the end of its safe lifespan due to age.
Additionally, check the underside for any signs of corrosion and inspect the exhaust system. While this specific vehicle has a clean history regarding these components, the aggregate data for the Kia Picanto identifies the exhaust and brake discs as frequent failure points. Ensure the brakes feel firm and do not produce unusual noises during a test drive.
This 2009 red Kia Picanto has covered just 9,909 miles since its first registration in December 2009, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with no major mechanical failures recorded across the five tests provided. However, the most recent inspection in October 2025 highlighted perishing tyres, which is a common age-related issue.
The Kia Picanto shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.2% across the wider dataset, with common issues typically relating to tyres, exhausts, and brake discs.
