2018 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · FG68 KUX

The 2018 Kia Venga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 16,460 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure that listed no defects, a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2024 and 2023 also passed cleanly, showing no worsening pattern across the visible history. Recorded mileage sits at 16,460 miles for an eight-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 2,058 miles per year. The odometer moved from 13,131 miles on 11 September 2023 to 13,423 miles on 22 February 2024, then 13,428 miles on 24 June 2024, and 16,460 miles by May 2025. This reflects light use with a short gap between the February and June 2024 tests of only 5 miles, and a modest 3,032-mile gain over the following eleven months. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely periods of standing, which can allow corrosion or seized calipers to develop unseen. The absence of advisories across all tests means no specific structural or mechanical risks were flagged by DVLA testers. Given the clean MOT trail and minimal annual coverage, previous keepers appear to have stored the car rather than racked up wear. Verify underbody condition and tyre sidewall ageing before purchase, as rubber degradation from long stationary spells will not show on a pass certificate.
