2025 KIA Picanto GT-Line S Auto 1.2L Petrol · T12 FEB

The vehicle maintains a clean record of roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT conducted on 12 May 2025 at 68,080 miles resulting in a pass with no defects recorded. This performance indicates a stable mechanical state, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without any flagged advisories or failures since the 2024 test cycle. The single failure recorded on 15 April 2024 appears to be a procedural or administrative anomaly, given that the vehicle passed the same test on the same day without any recorded defects. The mileage accumulation on this vehicle is exceptionally high for its age, totalling 68,080 miles over a period of approximately one year. While the MOT history shows a consistent annual testing pattern, the sheer volume of miles suggests the vehicle has been subjected to intensive, likely motorway-based usage. This level of operation far exceeds the typical annual average for a city car, indicating that the drivetrain, transmission, and suspension components have experienced significant fatigue despite the lack of formal test failures. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of high-wear components that typically suffer from such rapid mileage accumulation. Focus specifically on the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables often require replacement sooner than the MOT interval suggests under heavy use. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature degradation or fatigue, and check the tyre sidewalls and tread depth for uneven wear patterns that might indicate tracking misalignment. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the service book to ensure the engine oil and transmission fluid have been changed at intervals appropriate for such heavy duty use.
