2009 KIA Picanto 1.1L Petrol · SM59 KKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 11th April 2026 at 26,747 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance history shows a stable trend, with consistent passes over the past three years, though there was a single failure in April 2025 at 25,266 miles, also with no defects noted. This suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the cause of the failure remains unexplained without further details. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. Since its first MOT in April 2023 at 22,471 miles, the car has accumulated just 4,276 miles over three years, averaging around 1,425 miles annually. This low mileage could indicate lighter use, long periods of inactivity, or infrequent driving. Alternatively, it may reflect a history of careful maintenance and minimal wear on consumables. However, the sparse MOT data limits definitive conclusions about the vehicle's usage or maintenance frequency. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for any signs of structural integrity, particularly in the suspension and undercarriage. The low mileage suggests minimal wear on components like suspension bushes and coil springs, but the lack of recent MOTs means any underlying issues may not have been flagged. Additionally, the vehicle's age and low mileage warrant a thorough examination of the exhaust system for signs of corrosion or leaks, as these are common concerns in older vehicles. Finally, check the brake system for any signs of binding calipers or worn brake discs, as these components are particularly susceptible to wear over time.
