2015 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · RO15 CDF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner addresses immediate failures shortly after testing. The failure on March 2, 2026 at 58,164 miles regarding the offside headlamp beam and aim was rectified quickly within two days to secure a pass. This indicates a functional approach to basic safety-critical repairs. At 58,175 miles, the Kia Picanto has covered significantly less mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. This low usage typically results in less wear on the engine and drivetrain compared to high-mile counterparts. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,179 miles leading up to the most recent test cycle. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods of neglect. A buyer should inspect the front braking system specifically, as the record flagged thin pads in March 2024 at 50,680 miles. While the vehicle has passed since then, the recurring nature of consumable wear suggests that maintenance is performed only when components approach failure. The 2025 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn on the edge also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation. Given the age of the vehicle, a check for surface corrosion on the sills and underbody remains necessary, though the MOT history does not currently highlight structural integrity concerns.
