The Picanto is a simple, fuss-free car perfect for a new driver, though if one spring needs replacing we'd consider asking the seller to also replace the coil spring on the other side as if it doesn't need replacing now, it's likely to need doing in the future. Otherwise, it's a sensible and fun choice for a new driver with a very solid reliability record. Once the MoT is renewed, it sounds like a pretty good buy at that price.
