2022 KIA Picanto X-Line S Auto 1.0L Petrol · SD72 ORN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory after a specific mechanical failure was rectified within a short window. The most recent inspection on 16 February 2026 at 7,003 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the issues identified just ten days prior were addressed and the vehicle brought up to required safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, recording only 7,003 miles. This averages to approximately 1,750 miles per year, suggesting the car has seen minimal use or sat for extended periods. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and engine components, it can also lead to issues such as flat-otted tyres or seized brake components if the vehicle has not been driven regularly. A buyer should specifically inspect the parking brake system to ensure the repair made at 6,980 miles remains robust. The tester previously flagged an inoperative nearside rear parking brake and low overall efficiency, which often points to cable adjustment issues or mechanical failure within the drum mechanism. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to check for signs of corrosion on the brake discs and rubber seals that may have degraded from inactivity rather than active use.
