2014 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · SV64 SYW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The test conducted on 06 November 2025 at 41,058 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While the vehicle suffered a failure in November 2024 at 40,860 miles, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults without delay. The mileage history is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Picanto, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 37,423 miles and November 2023 at 40,385 miles, the car was used for only 3,000 miles in a year. This low-use pattern often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but can also lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. The data shows consistent annual testing despite the low frequency of road use. Given the clean nature of recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with long periods of standing and low mileage. Inspect the chassis for surface corrosion or structural rust, as stationary vehicles can suffer moisture retention in the sills. Check the condition of the tyre boots and suspension bushes for cracking, as these materials perish over time regardless of distance driven. Verify the brake discs for pitting or glazing, which often occurs on vehicles that are not driven frequently enough to clear away surface oxidation.
