This is the content I can't live without. Is there anything better than watcihng a makeover of a cheap 2009 Kia Picanto that's only done 1300 miles since new, after a long day at work, eating dinner? I can't eat without content from High Peak Autos. It's my food.
Literally, as I’m typing, I too am eating dinner watching a makeover of a cheap 2009 Kia picanto. It’s what us, as men, live for.
Me to mate
@@scottishfanta
Same I really like his content with cars Its Really Entertaining To Watch
Me too !@@scottishfanta
Same here. They are the perfect length to eat dinner to and never boring :D
It’s mad to think it’s probably only seen a petrol station 4 times if was always filled to the top 🤣
Hahaha yeah exactly
@@HighPeakAutos and for the last few years it’s used more litres of oil per year than petrol 🤦🏽♂️
I'm really curious who buys a brand new car just to drive it so very little. Quite odd.
@@MattExzy Someone with a terminal illness that was living in hope, at least that was the case with my grandmother.
Thirteen hundred miles will be around six tanks of fuel. These cars have tiny fuel tanks and my 2010 picanto gets 270 miles to a full tank. More petrol will have been evaporated than burned internally!😅
My mother is 85 and can no longer drive, however she keeps her top of the range Audi A1 in the garage in case of emergency. Mileage is very low and it only did around 300 miles in the last year being driven by myself to a garage for an MOT and then to an Audi dealer for a full service. She will hear nothing about selling it which would be the correct course of action. Annual insurance to do 300 miles runs to over £830 per annum. Cost per mile absolutely ridiculous.
'But Mum, we can sell it to the RUclips man and watch him massively overspend on it!'
My 85 year old mother has a 2020 Ford Focus Active, with all the options, and still drives several thousand miles a year. She plays 18 holes of golf twice a week and says she needs to space to fit her clubs and electronic trolley in the boot! 😂
@@QuicknStraightgood for her! 😄
Damn! An 85 year old woman still swinging balls!
Reminds me of a neighbour, she's now 84. She still hobbles around a bit but is still mobile. Up until she was about 82/83 she was walking her dog up the road and back every day and could sometimes walk to the shops and back, not "slowly" either. @@QuicknStraight
I had an '05 Picanto that replaced a 106. It was bulletproof and felt like a bigger car than it was! I looked like noddy driving it but it was reliable even if not particularly powerful. Amazing to see Kia's evolution over the last 15-20 years.
Horrid little car. I had one as a loan car, the mitsubishi colt is far betterimho
That’s what I call a “time capsule” car, an old car in “as new” condition… I love this type of car! 🚘
Couldn't agree more!
The word "under " 21:58 coming from your mouth a classic moment in High Peak history .well done 🎉
Unbelievable Matt ,you made me laugh when you said 'Who gets a car serviced every 20 miles' !!😂
Just had a customer in today for service/mot, she did a whopping 9 miles in the year, the year previous she managed 3 miles. Absolutely bonkers.
££‘s per mile, having been serviced every year, MOTs, tax, insurance, etc, etc - this has cost the owner a fortune - cheaper to get taxi’s everywhere 😂
Don't forget depreciation
Old person what do you expect with pension money
The little old man that owned it wouldn’t give up their independence probably.
Probably a pensioner or disabled owner who bought the car from a government scheme.
@@Frostyyy__
Not an old person. There's a Starbucks cup.
I love little cars like this. What an absolute gem. Near enough like a brand new car.
Absolutely love your videos Matt, they've become compulsive viewing for me, and I'm not even a petrol head particularly. By far, the majority of comments on here are friendly and positive. Don't be tempted to respond to the keyboard warriors. Remember the adage "never complain, never explain".
Thank you
My mother has a 2006, red, same spec, 22k miles! Full main dealer history. So easy to park, honest little car and hasn’t had a single fault (had to re gas AC). A lot to be said for simple little cars like this. PS, AC and electric front windows all you really need. Another cracking video Matt, can’t hide your enthusiasm for such a rare low miles find! Somebody will have years of cheap, fun and reliable motoring with that!
Don't have PS,AC, or power windows,on my pick up,and don't need them.
Most reliable car I ever had! Drove it as my first car and we had it in family for years. Apart from regular service, nothing broke on it except speed senzor since new and that was it. What a beast!
After watching this and doing my research, I got a 2008 picanto! So nippy and easy to park and is the best little car for my first car! It’s never had any advisories and such a good service history
I picked up a 65 plate Euro 6 Diesel Panda Cross with 14,400 miles in June.... new tyres and brake discs pads all round, Propshaft and lower arms had been replaced, obviously the rubber bushes had perished necessitating their replacement. It's been a great little car so far. Had to buy it thanks to the Mayor of London telling me I was an awful person for previously having a panda 4x4 diesel which being Euro 5 was going to destroy the planet.... The less said about that the better though..... or him anyway.
Ahhh yeah the good ol' ULEZ money making scam tax
Do you mind me asking what you paid for it? Ive the same car but on a 64 plate and mine had 14,000 miles on it when I got it 2 years ago. It's got nearly 37k on it now and I'm thinking of moving it on as Im doing more motorway miles these days.
The 64 plate is going to be worth less being not ULEZ compliant except outside London where you may expect around 7.5k perhaps more depending on history and area. But looking on auto trader will give you a better idea @@benny_mc
I'm guessing you went from a 2nd gen to a 3rd gen? either way, great little cars, rather economical, quite spacious for the size and full of character, quite a shame they forced you to get rid of your 4x4, they can be really good offroaders (same goes for the 4wd cross versions) though I doubt you'll be doing much of that in the london emissions zone, unless its gotten a decent bit more rought since I visited some years ago
65 plate means nothing to international watchers.
What YEAR was the car made?
I bought an 05 plate Hyundai Getz from an elderly neighbour who gave up driving at 91!
12,000 miles in 16 years! Inside was mint, a few minor marks on the exterior, but most polished out fine, the best bit was the price, just £500 😁
What that means is they have most likely done lots of short journeys, the engine wear per mile on short journeys is much higher than engine wear per mile on longer journeys. A low mileage car doesn't mean it's in good condition.
@mightywatcher5894when you buy that then 2001 certainty not the past few years
My father-in-law is 82, and has had a 10-plate Picanto identical (right down to the colour) to this from new. It's done 80k now and has never once failed to proceed. Brilliant little cars that run on fresh air.
With that service history and the work Matt has had done, this is a bargain for someone!!! Great video.
Love the car. That will sell very quickly I would imagine.
Thanks 👍
The market for second hand cars at mo is very buoyant I mean £4795 sounds a lot but that what a small car costs these days...this due to not being able to get hold of new cars
I think with some of the silly prices being asked for new cars, people are now thinking harder about buying a good used car that will last a while. This looks ideal as an economical and reliable little town car for someone not too fussy about performance or sporty looks. Something for a grandma to pop up to Sainsburys and Boots to get her prescriptions - or to meet up with friends and relatives locally maybe? My mother had something similar until she stopped driving - I don't think she drove more than 1000 miles each year in it, but it was serviced each year and kept clean in her garage.
Bravo, you finally got a good result Matt....
This is one of those cars that’s so original it needed a set of reg plates with the original dealerships name on not your own, might seem daft but it’s a brand new car and those are the kind of details that matter imo
What a great find and you didn`t quite go over budget!... What worries me though is the fact it`s had a recent main dealer service & MOT and those death trap tyres were not changed/mentioned and even the bonnet hinges were almost seized ?
Yes exactly. Very poor
The v5 reference number can show the mot garage address😂
I've discovered your channel the other day, since I've recently bought a used car, and I've been watching something like 2 to 3 videos a day. I absolutely love this kind of content and you seem to be such a transparent person about the cars you buy (and sell), it makes me want to buy one. Shame I live in Italy, so that is a no go ahahah. Also the British accent is so soothing and relaxing, I've been enjoying watching these videos with a cup of tea by my side in these rainy afternoons. Cheers and best of luck on your business
Referring to your point about the split rear wiper blades - those aren’t a part of an MOT test.
My father in law has a 66 plate Skoda Yeti with 4800 miles on it still has it serviced at Skoda every year,so yes there out there.
Also he’s 80 soon and thinking of treating himself to a Toyota Yaris so it will maybe be out there in the new year ,I can tell you apart from a good clean this car is as it rolled off the line.
Underbudget is a new thing xD
Great cute little goofy car Matt!
Brilliant that it has such low mileage!
Great video and work as always! :D
The picanto is such an underated car. They just work and super mechanical they feel like your actually in charge of what it does. My dad bought one during covid as a second car and it has been super reliable.
Congratulations Matt. You did it!. These Kias are great little cars for there price. Cute and reliable. Here in NZ, we only got one variant, back in 2009. It had all the electrics and aircon as standard. Always like to see the wide variety of vehicles that you cover.
rear wiper is not part of MOT, you don't get one on a van, and they are tested to the same standard, however, when selling a vehicle, it would clearly be 'best practise' to have decent wipers fitted, it is appreciated, that it is only once in a while that you get to underspend though
I love small low spec underpowered hatchbacks. This is a gem.
Me too. I always buy small budget friendly cars. Ones I've had have been bullet proof, never gone wrong 😁
Park it next to the Golf, they'll be like low mileage buddies, sitting together for years to come 😉
The picanto will probably sell pretty quickly
Got A low mileage 06 Honda Civic as a second car a few weeks ago. Love what Matt does
Cracking video Matt, this is deja vu for me. We bought a 2009 Kia Picanto with 18K miles for £2.5K last year for my wife, it had passed the MOT every time, with tyre advisories only. It flies along with 99-octane fuel, and is so much fun to drive, as you actually have to push it hard to keep up with the traffic. Better to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. You can park it anywhere and it will never get stolen. Nothing gone wrong (so far). These cars are magic for running costs and so much more reliable than almost anything else, and when things go wrong, cheap to fix. Never believe you could get £4.5K for it, do tell us what you sold it for. PS Radio 4 is on every day. What is the story on the cam belt though? It hasn't done the miles, but it has the age..
MPG?
Don’t bother with the rear light, the customer for this ain’t going to notice a crack.
Tyres were cracked and SO IS THE TIMING BELT!
Finally a Picanto!! I have the Mk1 as my first and always wondered when Matt would feature one on his channel delighted to see one haha
Only just seen now that both this and mine have an MJ number plate, strange co-incidences going on :)
These are great cars, I’ve had several Hyundai i10’s over the years, that are mechanically identical to the Picanto, and they are so reliable and cheap to run.
I once cleaned a rubber bumper MGB with a few hundred miles on it, came out of a collection somewhere. Think it was green. Sold for big bucks at the time. They do exist.
Got a 2013 RAV4 petrol CVT last year with 24k on the clock. Not 1000 miles granted, but it was pretty much as new condition and 10,000 miles later it is running like a dream.
Well done Matt. Delighted for you. Great little car for someone. An almost new car. I'm sure new owner will be thrilled with it.
You massively underspent
I love the Picanto, looks silly and tiny but is like a Tardis when you get in it. Not sure I could live with the tiny 68BHP engine but I believe the new version has a 100bhp Turbo in the top spec version. That in a car that weight only slight more than a lettuce leaf must be serious fun to drive.
60bhp Up!s are fun to drive.
I've got one of the 100bhp turbo Picantos - crackin' little cars.🙂
my elderly neighbour bought exactly the same as this new in 2009,it was £5995, but the government did a scrappage scheme, so he got £1000 for his clapped out corsa, then a further £500 off, as his grandson worked at kia,so he paid £4495 for his brand new car!
Impressive
Imagine anything for 6000 now
These little Kia's are winners. Universally popular as town cars, they are also very reliable, even with lots of miles on them. The Picanto's cousin, the Hyundai i10 is also a popular city car runabout. Same mechanicals etc..... Good to see this one went well!
Definitely right with the i10 father got one new 2018 and done 120,000 miles on it in 4 years
I don’t understand. What does ‘under budget’ mean? Never heard that said before 🤭. Really love that you find such low mileage gems and get them back on the road. Terrific 👏
I had an 11 plate Picanto as my first car, it felt like a Rolls Royce compared to driving the equivalent Vauxhall Corsa
With minor damage to lamps like that. Try filling the cracks with clear epoxy first. It will cost a couple of quid and while it won't always work, I feel like the number of times it does work is worth risking £2 in epoxy.
another awesome video matt and great car find as well. must be a record finding a car with 1300 miles. i know who to come to if i sell my car in the future may feature on your channel one day
Great video matt! What an absolute gem. Recently stocked a 2006 Audi A4 with 44k miles and sold it days later for £5950.
People will pay for low mileage!
Exactly low mileage= deal!
As a loyal supporter and fellow citizen, I will set you a test. I'm 74 years old, my annual milage since June 2019 is 3056, it has been serviced every year, my radio is set to radio 4 what make and model of car do I have oh and congratulations on at last coming in under budget 😂😮
Jaguar XF?
Close but no banana it's a 2013 E class coupe with 56163 miles
I drive a lot for work and living in Northern Ireland there's a lot of country roads to navigate. Tractors are less of an issue than getting stuck behind these! Usually driven by someone thats about 106
Not criticising, but personally there’s no way I’m paying £4k for a 14 yr old basic little car. Regardless of miles. Also a car left standing is the worst thing can be done to it. Fluids need to circulate, heat cycles need to take place, or they just seize up.
I wouldn’t either, not even the 2.5k he spent, but then again there will be a market somewhere
Same, the low mileage Golf hasn't sold yet either, although I'm not sure how long cars normally take to sell.
We also have a newer model KIA Picanto in the family which we have had from new and is low mileage - it's about five years old and has done 7k; I do take it out every now and then for a longer journey as I agree that it's good for a car to have a good run to stop rear brakes seizing up etc. Ours is an auto which has quite an old fashioned four speed box; very responsive round town, but economy terrible for such a small car... really not relevant in the scheme of things since the overall cost is low.
i cant sell stuff like this as customers cant believe the mileages and think its been clocked,well done if you can sell it,the people who might come to view it i would rather not deal with as they usually are a************************
Considering the car was 6.1k new in 2009 this means at the price he's selling 4.7k it has depreciated by literally £1 a mile as it's only done 1400 from new, I think 4k would be reasonable but still too high for what it is. As you say it is a very basic car that has barely been used. I would be worried about bushings perishing if the tyres look that way god knows what the rest of the rubber bits look like!
I have a 60 plate Piccanto 1 and had it from new. First(1)new cambelt every 6 years . I have done 57,000 and now DIY service after warranty expired as the KIa dealer a rip off. It is a great car and I will keep mine as long as parts are available. The body is very good. My MOTs are clean but the first had a headlamp adjustment needed.
I saw this on your website for sale, knew you had to make a video on it
Finding myself watching a video of a car that I have absolutely zero interest in by itself, but its still somehow very interesting...
Keep up the good work!
My Late Dad had one of these. It was great
Well done Matt you made a good profit on the litte Kia
You deserve a profit on every car you sell because you are a honest car salesman
I would recommend anyone who wants to buy a car to buy it from your showroom
Kevin
" Find another one like this ? " Got to be on the ad. write up for the car. Great result. Hope you don't get a chancer who has watched the video and questions the mark up on the price ! Nice one Matt, top man.
We all like a happy ending Matt 😁 no massive overspend, no hidden pitfalls, this made for good upbeat video 👍.
A honest and reliable car saved again nice job
Love the cobwebs under the bonnet!
To asa and back by the luck of it ,what a little jem of a find and an unsee spend 😳 surely not .Great video matt thanks 😊
That's an incredible find Matt. A proper unicorn motor, and it seems to have lived a charmed life. I hopenit does well for you Mate. Might make up for some of the previous overspending! 😂
Like a little time capsule, great buy. I know a couple of people with Picantos, and they're cracking little cars, just keep running. Whoever buys that will have a reliable little motor for years to come. Great job.
getting closer to seeing an Optima on here, c'mon Matt, sort it out, or I'll have to come up in mine and have a word 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
p.s., I don't think the rear wiper is on the Mot's
hi mat love these kinds of vids, you should buy a SsangYong either a Rexton or rodius/turismo
HI, a great Video and even grater find. Have you thought of offering the Picanto to Kia UK ? Would make a great showpiece for a Dealership or Kia Collection....Could be worth a lot more than retailing it .Cheers Dave DB Motors
My first car was a mk1 picanto and was a brilliant and bullet proof car o and the service book goes in the tray under the passengers seat lol
Cheap basic transport is what a lot people out there want hence the success of Dacia cars. Good video
Hi Matt rear wiper is not on MOT list rare find should be sold quickly .
I once drove a hire car Picante from Glasgow Airport to Luton Airport, with various stops at selected Universities with my son to help select the right one for him. I will never forget the look on the Luton Airport Hire car guy when we toled him we have driven from Glasgow in it. The whole drive, especially atmotorway speeds was like living inside a hair drier. But this one is a resl find and a beauty!!
I actually think there is a thing as too few miles for a car. The fact the car had been sitting for such a long time would be a red flag for me.
I agree. Cars need to be driven regularly and not just a spin around the block.
Exactly. Cars like to be driven and engines need to get hot. I dread to think of the amount of corrosion inducing condensation that's been produced inside that engine! 100 odd miles a year is damagingly low in my opinion. I'd rather pick something with 100k over that!
Entropy waits for no one.
I only buy cars with low mileage. Worked well for me. So far. lol
Yeah but we mean like this stupidly low for milege if it was atleast 10k then no problem @MrBCAM
Years ago I had a traded in Picanto as a courtesy car for a day. An earlier model than this one but low usage having been mostly attached to a motorhome for a few years.
Of course it was a ridiculous little thing.... but it had the very best manual gearchange I have ever driven. I was amazed. Kia was not a well known brand at the time.
Congratulations Matt nice to turn of the dice into a win these are my favourite videos 😊
Stick it in a barn for 10 years and then you have a sure-fire winner of the Festival of the Unexceptional right there.
MOTs in Northern Ireland are in a government place and the waiting times are months if you don't sit on the laptop refreshing and refreshing. They definitely are a lot stricter than in England.
Well done Matt 👏without “massively overspending “ in this video lad! 🎉
Massively underspent !! I think your sale price is a good price. Although it’s a car to be used , with the service history and low mileage it’s one of those park up and on store it cars and in a few years it’ll start to go up in value. It’s the poverty spec disposable cars that are often the ones worth the money.
I know u have to buy what stock u can find and what’s profitable but I’d love to see a “cheap” vw up or citigo on the channel
Great video! Well done 👏
I agree, this is effectively a new car for less than 5k, and given the low running costs and ulez friendly credentials that comes with it, this has to be a winner in todays market for you Matt.👍
“With a good old clean, it should be alright this”.
Famous last words
What a Great First car for someone! You Lucky Sod.👍👏
I have a BMW M4 but I still want a little car like this! Just for running about and keeping costs down.
Very much similar to my first gen Hyundai i10! A car i look after since watching this channel
The first time this year i have heard "under budget" from this channel. WELL DONE🤑
The last MOT tester said, all four tyres are cracking... the bloke said "Well thanks very much 😊!"
Hi Matt - very lucky on this one!
The mileage is unbelievable but it can happen. The last owner paranoid with servicing saved you a bit!! Pity though the last MOT missed the crack on the tyres!!
You certainly zoomed past Car Vertical's estimated values Mr Matthew 😄
Love the car though, hope you sell it for what you want
Matt, you deserve a bit of good luck. What a find!
I have a Kia picanto as the model shown in the video.Its just a silver colour.Its my daily run about car and loving it.Light on fuel and nippy in city driving ❤😊
Nice one matey, welldone 💪
Great video as always. But in this one you didnt mention the cam belt, surely that needs changing on a car of this age regardless of millage especially as it seems its spent most of its life sat on the drive. That being said, still enjoyed the video and look forward to the next one. Let us all know how you get on selling it please. Cheers
As it doesn't drive the water pump it's a relatively cheap job.
Loved seeing a white Picanto and a top result for once. I have owned a 66 plate white 5 door Kia Picanto Sport 3 spec for the last 2.5 years with 52K now on the clock. I only needed a small car as a daily as I also have a VW T5.1 campervan and this popped up locally with 32K on it for £5,900. I have seen the same spec with my current mileage for around £7K now! You can't lose with these.
I can't tell you how much I love my little car. It is quick yet frugal, sporty yet stealthy. All the 3 spec toys: Kia Sport bodykit, Sat nav, climate, half black / red leather, cruise control, alloys, alu pedals etc etc. Kia give you some great VFM.
I have dodo matted the rear and front pan / arches to reduce road noise and fitted Heka deflectors all round otherwise it's stock and it looks and drives great. ( You may have driven past me at some point Mat as I live in the High Peak! I always recognise the roads & locations...)
You are right about the Mot. It is open to a lot of abuses in England. Good video.
Another interesting bit of work to enjoy. The tyres are a pretty shocking oversight by an MOT tester. Not all parts of the UK allow garages to do MOTs. In Northern Ireland MOTs are done in government run MOT centres.
Its about time you underspent.
Great little car, like new. You should fill the tank and offer a service next year
Crackin' little car that, with a happy smiley face too. Someone is going to love that little 'sewing machine'
My Auntie had one of these 2009 Picanto she purchased it new, always had Full Kia service every 12 months and MOT history just over 5000 odd miles on it from new. As good as new condition. When she gave up driving she gave it to her daughter, the daughter took it and was offered £500 as a trade in, thankfully she kept it in the end.
Well done Matthew, you definitely scored well on that one...👍🙂👍
I bought a new Picanto. The best mpg I got on my drive home 10.5 miles was 86 mpg - not exceeding 50mph though.
Normal driving gives 60mpg.
Let me guess, he did not massively overspent on this one :)
Overspend.
What amazes me is that for a car thats only done 1,300 miles it still has 3 lots of battle damage. Imagine there would be no straight panel if it had done expected mileage for its years.
I was thinking the same thing, I don't think that's been sitting under a carport etc as suggested, it's been out in a communal car park or something which, especially as it's hardly moved, doubles the risk of getting scraped/ scratched, or we can just stick to it must have been owned by Mr Magoo or Stevie Wonder 😂
Literally a brand new car 😳 what a great find 👍🏻 one to put a smile on your face Matt😀
What a great little car in fantastic condition
Great video yet again
Very enjoyable
