2017 KIA Venga 1.4L Petrol · AV66 YTX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in January 2026 at 57,255 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of mechanical compliance but reveals a recurring pattern of neglect regarding tyre condition. While the car has avoided major mechanical or structural failures, the persistent presence of tyre-related advisories suggests the owner only addresses consumables when they approach failure rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2023 and January 2024, where the car covered only 3,446 miles in twelve months. However, the vehicle has seen more consistent use recently, covering several thousand miles between the 2024 and 2026 tests. This relatively low annual mileage generally places less strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based components. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of the tyres, as the record shows cracking and perishing on the rear axle in both 2024 and 2026. This indicates the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth, likely due to age or standing periods. The uneven wear noted in early 2023 also suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Given the lack of recorded structural defects, the chassis should be checked for surface corrosion to be thorough, though no immediate structural risks were flagged in the provided history.
