2011 KIA Venga 1.4L Diesel · CV61 EGK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on 21 January 2026 at 159,702 miles. While the most recent outcome is a pass, the record shows a pattern of initial test failures in both 2025 and 2026. These immediate re-tests suggest the vehicle required rectification work to meet minimum roadworthiness standards before passing, indicating that the mechanical condition is not inherently stable but rather dependent on reactive intervention. The vehicle has covered 159,702 miles over approximately 15 years, averaging roughly 10,647 miles annually. This usage rate is consistent with typical heavy-duty cycles for a vehicle of this age. A significant gap exists between the October 2022 test and the January 2025 inspection, during which time the vehicle’s status remained unrecorded. This period of inactivity or lack of testing prevents a complete assessment of the vehicle's condition during those years. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to have caused the recent test failures, specifically the braking system, lighting, and emissions equipment. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering rack should be checked for excessive play or fatigue, as these items often reach the end of their service life at this stage. A thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside is necessary to identify any structural corrosion that may have developed during the extended gap in the testing history. Buying Score: 48. Risk Level: Medium.
