2012 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · CE12 VMG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 21 March 2025 at 75,489 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This clean record across consecutive annual inspections suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that critical mechanical components are currently operating without immediate signs of failure or significant neglect. The mileage profile is low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. Between March 2021 and March 2025, the car covered only 5,769 miles, showing consistent but minimal usage of roughly 1,440 miles annually. This low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking system. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown if the car sits stationary for extended periods. Given the lack of recorded faults in the history, a physical inspection should focus on areas susceptible to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and suspension mounting points, which is common in vehicles of this era regardless of mileage. It is worth checking suspension bushes for cracks or perishing, as these can become brittle over time even with low use. Additionally, verify the condition of brake discs for pitting and ensure the tyres have not suffered from flat spotting or sidew cracking due to infrequent use.
