2019 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · YA19 BVN

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑17 at 16 624 miles, recording only a minor advisory on the nearside track‑rod end ball joint (2.1.3(b)(i)). The earlier tyre failures in April 2024 have not reappeared; the last two tests are clean bar that advisory, indicating a stable maintenance trend after a brief period of tyre‑related defects. Mileage accumulates at roughly 2 375 miles per year, a low figure for a 2019 model and consistent with light use or extended periods of storage. Test intervals are irregular: the gap from July 2022 (9 401 miles) to April 2023 (11 955 miles) spans eight months, while the period from March 2025 (15 328 miles) to April 2026 (16 624 miles) is about 14 months. The tyre issues were addressed promptly in 2024, and subsequent mileage gain shows no rapid wear pattern. A buyer should inspect the suspension closely, checking the nearside track‑rod end for excessive play and confirming that the ball‑joint mount shows no corrosion or looseness. Both rear tyres must be examined for perishing, cracking, and tread depth, as the 2024 records flagged slight perishing on those positions. The front offside tyre should be inspected for any structural tear or separation, and the brake discs and pads should be assessed for even wear, given the low but steady mileage and the advisory on a steering component.
