2014 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · FJ14 TPY

The 2014 Kia Venga presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 16 April 2025 at 72,422 miles. The tester recorded no defects on this occasion, indicating the vehicle met the required roadworthiness standards. A duplicate test entry exists for the same date and mileage showing a fail with no defects listed, likely representing a same-day retest or an administrative anomaly, but the final recorded outcome remains a clean pass. This pattern mirrors the 2023 test, where a pass at 60,045 miles also followed an initial fail with no defects noted on the same day. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with light, typical use for a vehicle of this age. Between the April 2023 test at 60,045 miles and the April 2024 test at 66,480 miles, the Venga covered 6,435 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in use, accumulating 5,942 miles to reach 72,422 miles by April 2025. Such consistent, low-mileage driving generally limits wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, and the drivetrain, though prolonged periods of standing can cause its own issues like perished rubber or seized components. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection, as the official record offers no insight into the vehicle's current condition beyond April 2025. Given the time elapsed since the last test, wear on consumables like tyres and wiper blades will have progressed. The low annual mileage warrants checking for perished suspension bushes and deteriorating rubber components, which degrade with age and lack of use rather than distance. Inspect the brake calipers for signs of binding and the exhaust for corrosion, as short-trip driving accelerates moisture buildup and rust. Underneath, examine the structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounting points for any corrosion that might compromise safety.
