2016 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · AK66 ABV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 67,611 miles with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate retest pass suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly without indicating a chronic mechanical decline. The clean sheets from the previous two annual tests indicate that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Data shows a brief burst of activity between July 2024 at 54,380 miles and September 2024 at 57,044 miles, followed by roughly 10,500 miles covered in the year leading to the September 2025 test. This low annual mileage suggests reduced wear on high-stress components like the engine, clutch, and suspension bushings compared to higher-mileage counterparts. Although the MOT history is currently clear of recurring advisory items, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common wear points that typically manifest on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, the tester should check for surface corrosion on the exhaust siring and the integrity of rubber suspension arm bushes. Low mileage can also sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or seized calipers if the vehicle sits stationary, so verifying the smooth operation of the braking system is essential to ensure the 2024 and 2025 failures were fully cleared of underlying issues.
