2010 KIA Venga 1.4L Diesel · CV60 BWW

The Kia Venga presents as roadworthy following the June 2025 test at 70,070 miles, where the DVSA recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged. A failed entry on the same date as the June 2025 pass, with no defects recorded, points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 16 years old the vehicle shows 70,070 miles, an average of about 4,379 miles per year. The record confirms light use: 63,484 miles in November 2023, 65,874 in June 2024, and 70,070 by June 2025. That is under 7,000 miles across nineteen months. Low annual mileage like this often means long standing periods, which can age tyres, flat-spot suspension bushes, and promote corrosion even when test results stay clean. The November 2023 failure at 63,484 miles with no defects listed, mirrored by the June 2025 failure at 70,070 miles, suggests clerical test errors rather than worn components. No tester ever flagged brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural rust. Still, a buyer should physically inspect underneath for corrosion on sills and subframes, check suspension bushes for cracking from inactivity, and confirm brake calipers are not binding after the car's low-mileage dormancy. Given the sparse and clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic compliance, though the twin failure entries on both fail dates show sloppy test handling rather than neglect. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to catch latent issues the MOT did not record.
