2022 KIA Picanto 1.0L Petrol · YJ22 LCU

The July 14, 2026 MOT at 17,901 miles confirms the Kia Picanto is roadworthy, with no defects recorded, and the two‑year history shows a stable maintenance pattern as both the June 23, 2025 test and the recent test passed without any listed failures. At four years old, the recorded 17,901 miles equate to roughly 4,500 miles per year, a low usage rate that may reflect periods of limited driving. However, the interval between the June 23, 2025 test (10,781 miles) and the July 14, 2026 test (17,901 miles) spans 13 months and adds 7,120 miles, indicating a marked increase in annual mileage compared with the earlier average. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, verify that the rear brake calipers move freely and that the brake discs show no scoring, and examine the front end for any mis‑alignment or damage resulting from the removal of central front items noted in the 2025 test. Particular attention to structural rust, exhaust condition, and tyre tread depth is advisable, given the car’s low overall mileage and the possibility of component seizure after extended idle periods. Overall, the vehicle presents a clean record with recent validation, but a thorough in‑person assessment of the highlighted mechanical components is essential before purchase.
