2010 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · HG10 AAE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 3 October 2025 at 51,712 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 3,232 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between April 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 31,636 to 44,035 miles. A more recent jump occurred between September 2024 and October 2025, adding 7,677 miles. This suggests the vehicle transitioned from very light use to a more regular driving cycle in the last two years. The absence of advisories over several years is unusual for a sixteen year old vehicle and warrants a cautious physical inspection. Low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded suspension bushes due to inactivity. A buyer should specifically check for tyre cracking and ensure the brake discs have not pitted or corroded from standing. The record shows a failure on 24 September 2024 at 43,990 miles, though the specific defect is not listed in the provided data. Since it passed three days later at 44,035 miles, the issue was likely a minor consumable fix. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody is essential, as the MOT history does not explicitly flag rust but the vehicle's age makes it a primary risk.
