2016 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · DS 7111

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 225,507 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of passes across five consecutive years, dating back to 2022, indicates that the vehicle has maintained a stable mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring failures or structural degradation typically seen in older cars. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,550 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 16,805 miles and February 2026 at 25,507 miles, the car covered only 8,702 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the infrequent travel also implies the vehicle may have spent long periods stationary. The consistency of the annual testing suggests the owner remained diligent with regulatory requirements despite the low annual mileage, which often correlates with long-term neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and inactivity rather than high-mile wear. Check for corrosion on brake discs and calipers, as brake fluid can absorb moisture and surfaces rust when a car is used infrequently. Inspect rubber suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perish rot, which occurs over time regardless of the distance driven. Since the record shows no previous advisories for structural integrity or exhaust, the chassis appears sound, but a thorough check of tyre age and fluid freshness is essential given the vehicle's usage pattern.
