2018 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · KF51 NAT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than preventative ownership style. The most recent test in September 2025 at 52,547 miles flagged an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and on the edge. This follows a pattern seen in August 2024 where the offside front tyre showed similar wear, suggesting that the owner delays tyre replacements until failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between June 2022 and August 2022, where the car covered only 14 miles in two months. Since then, the vehicle has seen a steady increase, covering over 34,000 miles in the last three years. This low mileage relative to the vehicle's age suggests that the mechanical components of the drivetrain have faced moderate stress, but it also increases the risk of rubber-based components perishing despite low mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the recurring edge wear on front tyres in 2024 and 2025 often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and ball joints. The 2023 advisory for thin offside front brake pads at 26,618 miles indicates that the braking system is serviced only when components reach a critical state. Given the 2022 report of perishing and cracking tyres, a physical check of the tyre sidewalls and other rubber hoses is essential to ensure the age of the material has not compromised safety despite the low odometer reading.
