2016 KIA Venga 1.4L Diesel · AD16 FBZ

The 2016 Kia Venga presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 77,451 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Two earlier entries on 13 February 2024 and 23 February 2026 list a failed test at identical mileages to the subsequent passes on the same dates, with no defects recorded in either case, indicating administrative or presentation anomalies rather than genuine mechanical concerns. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 51,542 miles on 13 February 2024, rising to 61,180 miles by 18 February 2025, then 77,451 miles by 23 February 2026. That equates to roughly 9,600 miles in the first interval and 16,271 miles in the second, a moderate increase in annual use but still within normal bounds at an overall average near 7,745 miles per year. No standing periods or abrupt gaps appear in the data. The absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across all tests suggests the previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep in order. The same-day fail and pass pairs with zero defects imply the failures were likely clerical and not rooted in worn tyres, binding calipers, or structural integrity issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common age-related items not always captured by MOT checks. Examine suspension arms for worn bushes, assess brake disc thickness and caliper operation, and inspect underbody and sills for incipient corrosion. Confirm the 2024 and 2026 same-day failures were administrative by reviewing the DVSA failure reasons, though no defects were logged against the vehicle.
