2019 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · DA19 CVF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards mechanical wear and component degradation. The most recent test in March 2026 at 39,290 miles identified a rear service brake binding and perishing on the nearside rear tyre. This follows a period of clean records in 2025, suggesting that while the vehicle was generally maintained, components are beginning to show signs of age despite the low overall mileage. At seven years old with 39,290 miles, this Kia Venga has averaged approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent, with mileage intervals of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests from 14,777 miles in 2022 through to 2026. Low mileage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the long periods between use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the recent advisory regarding tyre cracking. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the suspension and alignment, as the 2023 record noted both front tyres were heavily worn on the inside edge at 21,049 miles. This indicates a likely geometry fault or worn suspension bushes that remains unaddressed. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the history shows a progression from worn discs in 2024 to a binding rear caliper in 2026. A physical inspection is necessary to ensure the rear calipers are not seizing and that the brake discs have not suffered uneven wear due to the reported binding.
