2016 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · DU65 WKF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a history of minor reactive maintenance. While the most recent test on December 1 2025 at 69,769 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a blown offside rear stop lamp and incorrectly aligned offside front headlamp, these issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass on the same day. This suggests the owner is attentive to safety-critical defects once they are flagged, rather than allowing minor faults to persist across testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 47,220 miles in November 2022 to 69,769 miles in late 2025, indicating no evidence of long periods of abandonment or sudden bursts of high-intensity driving. This low annual accumulation reduces the theoretical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it means that age-related degradation of rubber and fluids remains a relevant factor of concern. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system based on previous advisories. The 2023 test at 60,203 miles identified a worn offside front suspension arm bush, which requires a physical check to ensure the play has not worsened or caused uneven tyre wear. Similarly, the 2022 record noted pitted and scored offside rear brake discs; while this passed the following year, the buyer should verify the thickness and surface condition of all discs to ensure no significant corrosion or binding calipers have developed. No structural corrosion or major mechanical failures appear in the recorded history, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age.
