2009 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · SY59 PYO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 18 October 2022 at 88,835 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates the car was in a compliant mechanical state at that time, but the lack of any testing between late 2022 and July 2026 means the current condition is unknown. The mileage is notably low for a 17 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,226 miles per year. The records show a steady increase from 75,194 miles in October 2020 to 88,835 miles in October 2022. A gap of nearly four years has passed since the last recorded test, during which the vehicle may have remained stationary. Long periods of inactivity often lead to perished rubber components and seized brake calipers. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension. While the history shows no recurring faults with brake discs or suspension bushes, the extended period of dormancy since 2022 increases the risk of surface corrosion on the chassis and brake binding. Check for perished tyres and ensure the battery and fluids have not degraded due to lack of use. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same or adjacent days in October 2020 and November 2021. Since no specific defects were listed for these failures, they likely related to minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables. The overall absence of structural corrosion or mechanical advisories suggests a well-maintained car, provided the recent period of inactivity has not introduced new faults.
