2015 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · AJ64 FBD

The Kia Venga passed its most recent MOT on 13 October 2025 at 132,881 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with clean passes in 2024 and 2023 preceding the latest test. A notable anomaly occurred in early October 2025, when the vehicle failed on 6 October 2025 at 132,758 miles yet the tester logged no defects, then passed seven days later at 132,881 miles with no faults; this suggests an administrative or presentation error at the failure rather than a genuine mechanical defect. The odometer shows 132,881 miles against an 11-year lifespan, averaging roughly 12,080 miles per year, which is high for a 2015 supermini and points to sustained commuter or delivery use. Mileage advanced from 101,325 on 30 September 2023 to 118,395 on 9 October 2024, then to 132,881 by October 2025, equating to about 14,500 miles in the final year and confirming accelerated wear exposure on drivetrain and suspension components. The record contains no gaps exceeding twelve months, so continuous testing history is present, though the sparse advisory data limits insight into consumable condition. Given the absence of recorded advisories across all tests, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these items accrue wear invisibly under high-mileage use and the MOT may not flag incipient fatigue. The twin 30 September 2023 entries and the defect-free failure in October 2025 imply DVSA data irregularities rather than owner neglect, yet previous keepers left no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond statutory testing. Prior to purchase, verify the V5C mileage consistency and commission an independent check of structural corrosion at sills and subframes, since the clean MOT history offers no reassurance on hidden rust at this age and mileage.
