2013 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · CU63 GWM

The 2013 Kia Venga presents a stable mechanical trend, though the most recent MOT record from 1 October 2025 at 49,591 miles contains a notable anomaly. The vehicle passed with zero defects on that date, yet a separate failure entry exists for the exact same day and mileage with no defects recorded. This contradictory data suggests a potential administrative error or an unlogged rectification retest rather than a genuine mechanical decline. Prior to this, the maintenance trend remains entirely stable, with the 18 September 2024 test at 46,789 miles also showing a clean pass despite a simultaneous failure entry lacking defect details. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light usage. Between the October 2023 test at 44,521 miles and the September 2024 test at 46,789 miles, the Venga covered just 2,268 miles over eleven months. The subsequent year saw a slight increase to 2,802 miles, reaching 49,591 miles by October 2025. This equates to roughly 3,815 miles annually, confirming the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. Such low mileage prevents the typical wear seen on higher-mileage equivalents but introduces specific risks associated with prolonged inactivity. Despite the absence of recorded mechanical defects, a buyer must inspect components susceptible to deterioration from prolonged standing. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and flat-spotting, as the rubber degrades regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers for binding, a common issue when vehicles sit unused. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and verify the exhaust system for corrosion caused by short, cold-start journeys that fail to evaporate moisture. The contradictory failure entries on the 2024 and 2025 records warrant a direct request for the original V5C and any receipts to clarify whether unrecorded defects were rectified off-record.
