2022 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · SL22 CXD

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on November 4 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical integrity, as the car passed its consecutive tests without any major defects or failures. While the vehicle passed the test at 22,651 miles, the introduction of advisories regarding all four tyres indicates a shift toward age-related wear rather than mileage-based mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,663 miles per annum. Between the November 2024 test at 15,854 miles and the 2025 test at 22,651 miles, the car covered 6,797 miles. This suggests the vehicle is used for short urban trips or remains stationary for extended periods. Such low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age, which matches the findings in the latest inspection record. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the tyre set during a physical viewing. The November 2025 advisory for cracking and perishing across all four tyres suggests the rubber has reached the end of its flexible life despite potentially having sufficient tread depth. This condition is common in low-mileage cars that sit idle and poses a risk of structural failure. Additionally, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from rust on the rotors which is not regularly cleared by active braking.
