2019 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · RO69 LCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with 15,555 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reveals a consistent pattern of neglect regarding minor consumable components. While the car has passed its tests over the last three years, the recurring advisories regarding tyre condition suggest that the owner only addresses issues when they approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance on age-related wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,222 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the September 2022 test at 6,442 miles and the 2023 test at 11,606 miles, where the car covered over 5,000 miles in twelve months. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and suspension, but the long periods of standing often lead to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake hardware. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as the record shows persistent cracking and perishing noted in both 2024 and 2025. The low mileage increases the risk of dry rot in sidewalls despite adequate tread depth. Additionally, the 2023 advisory for thin rear brake pads indicates that the braking system has seen use despite the low distance; you should check the discs for surface corrosion or pitting due to lack of use and ensure the brake calipers are not seized from the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods.
