2017 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · AM52 EMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on April 1, 2026, but the immediate history reveals a lapse in preventative maintenance. A failure occurred just one month prior on March 31, 2026, at 61,316 miles due to a missing nearside rear brake liner and a badly worn offside front tyre. While these issues were rectified quickly, the pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when prompted by a test failure. The mileage profile remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 52,225 miles and the April 2025 test at 56,556 miles, the car covered 4,331 miles, indicating a period of lower usage. The jump to 61,318 miles between 2025 and early 2026 shows a return to typical usage levels preceded the recent component failure. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the recurring inner-edge tyre wear noted in 2023 and 2026 indicates potential misalignment or worn wishbone control arm bushes. The rear brake assembly requires a close look to ensure the replacement liner did not leave damage to the backing plate. Given the lack of structural advisories to date, the primary focus remains on these consumable wear-related components rather than deep chassis corrosion.
