Our Verdict
This 2019 Kia Venga with a 1.6 petrol en
This Venga presents a low-risk option in the used small MPV market, particularly given its modest annual mileage and unbroken pass record. When viewing, pay particular attention to the offside front tyre area — although the 2023 advisory was minor, uneven tyre wear on the front axle can indicate worn suspension bushes, alignment issues, or tracking problems that recur if the underlying cause was not addressed. Ask the seller for any documentation relating to four-wheel alignment or suspension work carried out since.
It is worth confirming whether the vehicle has a full Kia main dealer service history, as Kia's 7-year warranty (capped at 100,000 miles) would have transferred with the car up to seven years from first registration in August 2019 — meaning warranty cover expired in August 2026, just weeks ago. A stamped service book is therefore especially valuable on this particular car, and absence of one is a reasonable point for negotiation. Inspect the clutch feel and gearbox behaviour, as the 1.6 petrol manual Venga is known to develop clutch wear at higher mileages, and test all electrical functions including the infotainment system and air conditioning.
The 1.6-litre petrol Venga typically returns around 40-45 mpg in real-world mixed driving, dropping closer to 35 mpg in town use. As a Euro 6 compliant petrol registered after April 2017, this Venga sits in the £165-£190 annual VED band for its first six years, after which it moves to the standard £190 rate. Insurance should fall into group 12-14, making it affordable for most drivers.
Routine servicing tends to be modest, with annual maintenance including oil and filter changes typically costing £150-£220 at an independent garage. Replacement items such as brake pads, tyres, and a cambelt (due around every 5 years or 60,000 miles on this engine) should be budgeted for separately. Overall annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated at £900-£1,100 depending on mileage and usage patterns.
The 2023 MOT recorded an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and on edge — when inspecting the car, check the current tread depth across both front tyres and look for uneven shoulder wear. Uneven wear patterns can point to tracking misalignment, worn wishbone bushes, or a failing strut top mount, all of which are common on Vengas of this era. Jack the car up if possible and check for play in the front suspension.
Given the low annual mileage of around 3,850 miles, the car may have been used for short urban journeys, which can accelerate corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components. Inspect the brake discs for lipping and surface rust, and check the exhaust system including the rear silencer for signs of corrosion, which is a known weak point on Vengas of this generation. Also examine the rear tailgate struts, as these often fail on cars over five years old and can leave the tailgate unable to stay open.
Finally, on the interior, test the rear door mechanisms thoroughly — the Venga's sliding rear doors can develop issues with the latch mechanisms and runners, and replacement parts are relatively affordable but fiddly to fit. Check all electric windows and confirm the air conditioning blows cold, as regassing costs are an easy negotiation point if the system is weak.
This CL19BTY Kia Venga was first registered in August 2019 and has covered 26,981 miles over roughly seven years, equating to around 3,850 miles per year — notably below the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age. Five MOT tests have been recorded, all resulting in passes, with only a single advisory for an offside front tyre in 2023. The Euro 6 compliant 1.6-litre petrol engine should keep running costs reasonable, particularly for urban drivers. With no MOT failures anywhere in its history, the test record is the cleanest available.
Specific aggregate MOT reliability data for the Kia Venga is not available in this dataset, so broader model reliability claims cannot be substantiated from the data shown. The Kia brand has generally performed well in independent reliability surveys, but this should be confirmed through a separate check before purchase.
