KIA VENGA2015 · 1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT in October 2025 recorded a pass, but the advisory list is extensive and points to a maintenance trend that is gradually worsening. The tester flagged the offside front inner tyre as worn close to the legal limit, front brake pads wearing thin, and all four tyres showing signs of cracking or perishing. This represents a clear step up from the prior year's single advisory and indicates that routine consumable items are now being deferred. Mileage accumulation is consistently low, averaging roughly 2,800 to 3,000 miles per year between tests. The car covered 23,201 miles by October 2022, 25,712 miles by September 2023, 28,136 miles by September 2024, and 31,597 miles by October 2025. This steady but minimal usage pattern suggests the vehicle has likely spent significant periods standing, which aligns with the recurring tyre perishing seen across all four corners since the 2023 failure. A buyer must inspect the tyres thoroughly. All four have been noted with cracking or perishing for three consecutive tests, and one front tyre is now at the legal limit. These are age-related, not mileage-related, and replacement of the full set is imminent. The front brake pads require immediate attention as they were described as wearing thin eight months ago. The windscreen suffered a serious visibility obstruction in the 2023 failure, so check for any residual damage or poor repair. No suspension, structural corrosion, or drivetrain faults appear in the record, which is encouraging.
