2018 KIA Venga 1.6L Diesel · FN68 CJE

The 2018 Kia Venga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 15 May 2025 at 67,615 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across every examination in the available history. Annual mileage has averaged roughly 8,450 miles against the vehicle's eight-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 10,138 miles at the 20 July 2021 test, rising to 17,426 by 10 June 2022, 31,240 on 5 June 2023, 52,115 on 8 June 2024, and 67,615 by May 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The clean sheet at every interval indicates the previous keeper kept basic consumable and mechanical upkeep current rather than deferring work until failure. With no advisories or defects logged on any test, the MOT record alone raises no red flags on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection. Standing intervals between the early low-mileage years warrant a check for perished rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from disuse. Verify the underbody for hidden rust and confirm brake calipers move freely, since the tester recorded no binding or seepage to rely on. The sparse but clean history suggests careful ownership, yet only a workshop lift will confirm the exhaust emissions hardware and chassis integrity beneath the surface.
