2017 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · RV67 WLH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 November 2025 at 45,897 miles with no recorded defects. The 2023‑11‑07 failure, which highlighted multiple brake‑pad wear, tyre wear, a compromised wheel‑arch liner and a fuel‑pipe security issue, was remedied before the subsequent 9 November 2023 test, after which the car has recorded three consecutive passes. This pattern indicates an improving maintenance trajectory rather than a deteriorating one. Across a nine‑year span the Picanto has accumulated 45,897 miles, averaging roughly 5,100 miles per annum – well below the typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression from 20,698 miles in September 2020 to 32,943 miles in October 2022, then to 44,235 miles by November 2023, shows a steady, moderate increase with no abrupt spikes that would suggest periods of heavy use or neglect. The consistency of the recorded figures reinforces the impression of light, regular driving. A prospective buyer should verify that the brake system is fully restored, confirming pad thickness exceeds the 1.5 mm minimum and that discs show no scoring or excessive wear. Tyre tread should be inspected for uniform wear and any edge damage, as the 2023 failure noted tyres close to the legal limit. The wheel‑arch liner on the nearside should be intact and securely fitted, and the fuel pipe should be properly clamped to prevent movement. Finally, a quick check of the supplementary restraint system warning lamp will confirm that the SRS fault flagged in 2023 has been correctly addressed, and a visual survey of the suspension bushes and any signs of corrosion will complete the due‑diligence.
