2019 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · PV19 EXH

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 February 2026 at 36,281 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is notably low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,183 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable, increasing by 4,100 miles between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 4,100 miles by the February 2026 test. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or significant gaps in testing that would suggest periods of neglect or commercial misuse. The record shows a single failure on 14 February 2023 at 25,421 miles, though it passed on the same day. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for this failure, it likely related to a minor administrative error or a quick-fix consumable. The total absence of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or exhaust emissions over the last four years is uncommon and indicates a well-maintained example. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer should check for perished tyre sidewalls or flat spots, as low-mileage cars often suffer from rubber degradation over time. Checking the brake fluid moisture content and ensuring the battery holds a strong charge is advised, as light use can lead to stagnation in these specific areas.
