2016 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · LV66 AEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 30,314 miles with a clean sheet and no defects. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the record reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The car passed its last three tests without major failures, but the history shows a tendency for the owner to ignore advisories until they become critical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,031 miles per year. There was a significant jump in usage between February 2023 and February 2024, where the odometer rose from 18,396 to 24,261 miles. This period of increased activity coincides with the only MOT failure in the vehicle's history. The low overall mileage suggests the car has spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the perishing of rubber components. A buyer should specifically examine the braking system and tyres. The failure on 14 February 2024 was caused by severely worn nearside rear brake pads and pitted discs across both axles. While these were rectified for the pass on the same day, the presence of pitted discs is a common symptom of a car sitting unused. Similarly, the 11 February 2025 test flagged a perishing offside front tyre, confirming that rubber degradation due to age is a recurring issue here. Inspect the front suspension and steering for any renewed leaks or play. The 12 October 2020 test noted a leaking grease seal on the nearside front bottom ball joint. While no further mentions of suspension issues appear in later tests, the combination of low mileage and previous joint wear warrants a physical check of the boots and bushings to ensure no premature drying or cracking has occurred.
