Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the vehicle'
When viewing this Picanto, prioritise checking the service history to see how the 1.1L engine has been maintained, particularly regarding timing belt/chain intervals. Because the vehicle has failed two MOTs in the past, ask the seller for specific details on what caused those failures and if the repairs were documented.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at over 90,000 miles, components like suspension bushings, exhaust systems, and brakes will likely be nearing the end of their service life. Ensure you verify the 'Other' fuel type classification, as this is unusual for a standard petrol Picanto and may indicate an aftermarket LPG conversion.
The 1086cc engine is designed for economy, typically placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band. Fuel costs should be relatively low, though if the 'Other' fuel type indicates an LPG conversion, fuel costs could be even lower depending on local LPG prices.
Maintenance costs for a small city car like the Picanto are generally predictable, but at this mileage, expect more frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sit around £1,100-£1,300.
Focus your inspection on the areas that typically cause MOT failures in older small cars. Although the 2024 MOT recorded no defects, the 2021 and 2024 failures suggest the vehicle can have issues that require attention to pass.
Check the underside for signs of corrosion, especially given the vehicle's age. Inspect the tyres, brake pads, and discs, and listen for any unusual noises from the suspension when driving over bumps, as these are common areas for advisories or failures on high-mileage urban cars.
This 2010 silver KIA Picanto Graphite has covered 90,630 miles since its first registration in April 2010. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with two failures occurring in 2021 and 2024. Although the most recent test in July 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects, the mileage is significantly higher than the model aggregate average of 3,567 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.6% MOT pass rate across the vehicles analysed.
