2018 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · FJ67 XLD

The 2018 Kia Venga presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 19 January 2026 at 26,741 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five consecutive MOT passes since 2022. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the vehicle's recorded history. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 15,411 miles at the 25 May 2022 test, rising to 19,903 miles by 30 May 2023, then 24,377 miles on 4 June 2024, 25,317 miles on 14 February 2025, and 26,741 miles on 19 January 2026. That averages roughly 3,300 miles per year. The gaps between tests are irregular rather than annual, with the 2024 to 2025 interval stretching over eight months, yet total accumulation remains low and steady with no sudden spikes. Low mileage combined with a clean test sheet implies light, cautious ownership and no skipped maintenance in the official record. The absence of any flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions failures suggests the previous keeper addressed consumables before each test. A car covering so few miles may have stood unused for long periods, which can age tyres, flat-spot them, and allow moisture-driven corrosion to begin unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounts for incipient rust, and check tyre sidewall condition given the low turnover. Verify the brake calipers are free and the discs show no pitting from disuse. The MOT data alone gives no cause for rejection, but standing time rather than wear is the real risk on this example.
