2019 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · RK19 UGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on January 6, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test failure on that same day indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The tester flagged issues with both front windscreen wipers, an incorrectly coloured side repeater, and a perished nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover. These faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, suggesting the owner is responsive to MOT failures once identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,966 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 17,798 miles and January 2026 at 20,760 miles, the car covered only 2,962 miles over two years. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware. The record shows consistent annual testing, which indicates a pattern of regular oversight despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should inspect the front suspension components to ensure the replacement of the linkage identified in January 2026 was completed correctly and that other bushes remain supple. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. The nearside front tyre noted with a cut in 2025 should be examined for further sidewall damage or dry cracking due to age rather than use. The overall history shows a well-maintained vehicle with no recurring mechanical failures or structural integrity concerns.
