Median per year. New price: what the car cost new in the Netherlands, the RDW catalogue price (incl. VAT, BPM and factory options, without delivery costs). For cars imported used: the Dutch catalogue price of that version. Value kept: asking price divided by the car’s own new price. Drop per year: value kept against the next newer year; a plus means that year asks relatively more. Older cars have more miles, which is part of the drop. * Fewer than 5 cars: indicative only. Asking prices, not sale prices.

Who buys a used Kia Picanto?

The Picanto is one of the best-selling used cars in the Netherlands: BOVAG/RDC counted 30,708 changing hands in 2025. Buyers are new drivers, students, older motorists after a small car and families wanting a second car. They choose it because it is frugal, cheap on road tax and because a young Picanto still has factory warranty. A Picanto from 2020 or later is covered until 2027 or beyond, as long as it is under 150,000 km and the servicing can be proven.

Value comes mainly from age, mileage and equipment. A DynamicLine or GT-Line with navigation, reversing camera and Apple CarPlay sells faster than a basic ComfortLine, and the 1.0 T-GDi is popular with people who also drive on motorways. The automatic (a conventional four-speed until 2020, an automated manual after that) shifts unhurriedly; some buyers seek it out, others drop out after the test drive.

  • Automated manual gearbox (from 2020): slow and sometimes jerky shifts, usually normal behaviour but buyers hesitate
  • Clutch and brakes wear faster with lots of short city trips
  • Missed services can cost the warranty
  • Older Picanto I and II: check the underside and wheel arches for rust

What does a buyer check on a used Picanto?

  • Service history to Kia's schedule
  • Remaining warranty, checked by VIN at a Kia dealer
  • Clutch: biting point and slipping under acceleration
  • A test drive with the automatic, if fitted
  • The RDW odometer judgement

How do you sell your Picanto for the best price?

  1. Say in the first line until which year the factory warranty runs
  2. First-time buyers care about running costs: mention fuel use, road tax and recent services
  3. A tidy Picanto usually sells best privately
  4. Get any overdue service done to protect the warranty

FAQ about the Kia Picanto

How many used Picantos are sold?

30,708 in 2025, according to BOVAG/RDC (dealer and private sales combined). That puts the Picanto in the top 10 most traded used cars in the Netherlands. So there is plenty of supply, but also plenty of demand. A clear ad, good photos and proof of servicing help yours stand out from the other Picantos.

Does my used Picanto still have warranty?

Probably, if it is less than 7 years old and has covered under 150,000 km. The factory warranty passes to the next owner as long as the conditions have been met, mainly servicing on schedule. A Kia dealer can see from the VIN when the warranty ends. Put that date in your ad.

Is an automatic Picanto harder to sell?

No, but it suits a different buyer. Older drivers and people who mostly drive in town actively look for an automatic. The automated manual from 2020 shifts more slowly than a conventional automatic; explain that and give buyers time for a proper test drive. Anyone wanting a sportier drive will more likely choose a manual 1.0 T-GDi.
