2017 KIA Venga 1.6L Diesel · LA17 HBL

The 2017 Kia Venga with 57,714 miles passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-03 with no defects recorded. However, the MOT history reveals inconsistencies, including duplicate entries for 2025-06-24 and 2024-06-26, where the same mileage showed both passed and failed results. These anomalies complicate assessing the vehicle’s maintenance trend, though the latest test suggests stability. No structural or mechanical failures were flagged in the most recent evaluation, indicating the car met current roadworthiness standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 57,714 miles over nine years aligns with average annual usage of 6,413 miles. Tests were conducted approximately 12 months apart, with the 2024-06-26 MOT at 47,179 miles followed by a 2025-06-24 test at 55,325 miles, reflecting a gradual increase. The gap between the 2025-06-24 and 2026-02-03 tests extended to eight months, which is within acceptable limits. The absence of defects in the latest test suggests no urgent mechanical issues, though the repeated failed results without recorded faults raise questions about prior repair efficacy. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. The absence of brake-related defects in the latest test is reassuring, but the vehicle’s history of failed MOTs without recorded issues warrants checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Corrosion risks should also be evaluated, particularly in areas prone to road salt exposure. The MOT record lacks details on these elements, so a physical inspection is critical to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
