2022 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · OY22 XGT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 25 March 2026 at 80,626 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean pass on 4 March 2025, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a four year old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. A significant increase of 24,796 miles occurred between the March 2025 test and the March 2026 test. This rapid accumulation indicates heavy usage, likely as a high-mileage commuter or fleet vehicle, which accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushings. While the MOT record is clean, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of wear-and-tear items. A buyer should check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables will have faced significant stress. The suspension should be checked for any play or noise, and the engine oil condition should be verified to ensure the previous owner adhered to service intervals despite the heavy usage. The lack of advisories across two tests suggests a level of diligence in basic upkeep. However, the gap between the 55,830 and 80,626 mile marks is substantial. Focus should remain on the mechanical health of the engine and gearbox to ensure the high mileage has not led to premature internal wear.
