2014 KIA Venga 1.6L Diesel · FL14 XNG

The 2014 Kia Venga presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 16 March 2026 test at 71,888 miles, where the tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination from March 2023 through March 2026 returning a pass and no advisories logged. A prior failure on 16 March 2026 at 71,887 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately cleared by the same-day pass. Annual mileage averages 5,991 across the 12-year life, confirmed by the record: 55,997 miles in March 2023, 62,188 in March 2024, 66,842 in March 2025, and 71,888 by March 2026. The yearly increment sits near 5,000 to 6,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Low use of this order often means lighter loading on drivetrain components yet extended stationary periods that can encourage corrosion or perished rubber on suspension bushes and brake hoses. The absence of flagged items such as worn coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions breaches suggests previous owners kept basic statutory compliance. No recurring advisories appear, so no worsening pattern exists in the data. A clean sheet across five tests implies routine test attendance rather than deferred repair. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath sills and subframes for rust, given the car's age and low-mileage standing. Verify brake disc condition and suspension bush wear in person, as MOT passes at low mileage do not measure remaining consumable life. Confirm the 16 March 2026 failure cause with DVSA paperwork before purchase.
