2017 KIA VENGA1.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistent maintenance trend over recent years. The most recent inspection on 09 September 2025 at 46,004 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that primary mechanical components are functioning without immediate degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,112 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 27,030 miles and the 2025 test at 46,004 miles, the car covered 18,974 miles, maintaining a steady pattern of light usage. The single failure on 25 August 2023 at 33,998 miles, followed immediately by a pass on the same day, suggests a minor issue that was identified and rectified quickly rather than a chronic mechanical failure. While the MOT history is clean, low-mileage vehicles necessitates a specific inspection for issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should check the rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and tyre boots, for cracking or perish which occurs through age rather than wear. The brake discs should also be examined for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use can lead to uneven wear on the braking system. Given the lack of structural advisories in the records, a physical check of the chassis remains advisable to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed in the underbody.
