2017 KIA Picanto 1.2L Petrol · YL17 LLC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 September 2025 at 42,529 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five annual tests suggests that the previous owners have maintained the car to a high standard, preventing the accumulation of mechanical faults or structural corrosion. The mileage profile is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,725 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 26,478 miles and the September 2025 test at 42,529 miles, the car covered 16,051 miles. This consistent low-frequency usage typically indicates reduced wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or oxidisation of fluids if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods between journeys. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults or structural advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components prone to aging low-mileage vehicles. Check the tyres for flat spotting or perished rubber sidewalls and examine the brake discs for surface pitting. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing, which can occur regardless of mileage due to age. Given the age of the vehicle, verify the undercarriage for any early signs of surface rust on the exhaust or mounting points, despite the lack of previously reported structural issues.
