2015 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · SC15 YCL

The 2015 KIA PICANTO passed its last MOT test on 2025-10-29 with 39,631 miles, indicating a stable maintenance trend despite some notable issues. The most recent test revealed severe deterioration of the nearside front outer drive shaft joint constant velocity boot, binding rear brakes, and corroded brake pipes. However, the tester also flagged an oil leak, which was not excessive. The recorded mileage of 39,631 miles is relatively low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting lighter use or long periods of standing. However, the mileage accumulation pattern is not entirely clear, with some notable gaps and a relatively rapid increase in mileage over the past few years. For instance, the vehicle accumulated 5,455 miles in the 12 months leading up to the 2025-10-29 test, which is a higher rate than in previous years. Conversely, there is a significant gap in the mileage record between 2023-11-02 and 2024-10-31, with no recorded mileage. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and brake system in person, as several tests have highlighted issues with binding rear brakes, corroded brake pipes, and reduced damping effect of the nearside rear shock absorbers. The history also suggests that the vehicle's brake system may be prone to binding, with multiple tests flagging this issue. Additionally, the presence of oil leaks and corroded brake pipes indicates that the vehicle may be showing signs of wear and tear, and a buyer should investigate the extent of these issues. Furthermore, the vehicle's history suggests that the previous owners may have neglected basic upkeep, as evidenced by the failure to address recurring issues with the brake system and suspension. A buyer should also inspect the vehicle's tyres, as the record shows that the previous owners may have neglected to replace them in a timely manner, resulting in slight damage and cracking.
