KIA VENGA2012 · 1.6L Petrol

The 2012 Kia Venga presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 June 2025 at 39,854 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt two days earlier on 2 June 2025 at the same mileage where the tester logged no defects. This anomaly suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent clean pass confirms the vehicle met standards at that point. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for a fourteen-year-old car. From the 26 May 2022 test at 38,422 miles to the 29 May 2024 test at 39,379 miles, the vehicle covered only 957 miles across two years. By May 2025 it reached 39,854 miles, meaning total accumulation since 2022 is just 1,432 miles, an average of roughly 2,847 miles per year. The record contains no gaps longer than the standard twelve-month cycle and shows no rapid accumulation phases. Given the clean advisory history across all five tests, no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues appear in the data. The absence of flagged items implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing compliance but tells us nothing about interim consumable care such as tyre age or fluid changes during long stationary periods. A buyer should still inspect in person for structural integrity concerns hidden from MOT scope, particularly underbody rust from prolonged damp standing and perished rubber components like wiper blades or hoses. Verify the actual reason for the 2 June 2025 failure with the test station, and commission a independent check of brake caliper freedom and exhaust emissions before purchase.
