2018 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · FV67 OMA

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 2 October 2025 at 34,531 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of increasing advisories. While the 2023 and 2024 tests highlighted recurring issues with the rear braking system and tyre condition, the absence of any advisories in the latest inspection suggests that these previously flagged items have been addressed. The vehicle has covered 34,531 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 4,316 miles per year. This represents significantly lower than average annual usage. The mileage progression remains consistent across the recorded history, moving from 22,496 miles in October 2020 to 34,531 miles in October 2025. Such low annual mileage often indicates light usage, though it can sometimes lead to component issues such as surface corrosion or perishing rubber parts due to extended periods of inactivity. The MOT history reveals a specific pattern of wear concentrated on the rear braking components. In the November 2023 test at 30,564 miles, the tester flagged both nearside and offside rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This issue persisted into the October 2024 test at 32,505 miles, where the record expanded to include binding rear service brakes and thinning rear brake pads. The presence of a damaged or perishing offside rear tyre in that same 2024 test further supports the theory that the vehicle's low usage may contribute to the degradation of rubber components. A prospective buyer should perform a physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to ensure the discs and pads were fully replaced rather than just cleaned. Check the condition of all tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as the 2024 advisory suggests the rubber may be aging despite the low mileage. While the most recent test is clear, verifying the integrity of the brake calipers and checking for any signs of seized components will confirm that the previous binding issues have been professionally resolved.
