2017 KIA Venga 1.4L Diesel · LB17 LDY

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent inspection on 21 July 2025 at 57,342 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that any previous mechanical issues were addressed. This follows a successful pass in March 2025, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with DVSA safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,371 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 51,243 miles and the March 2025 test at 55,903 miles, the car covered 4,660 miles, showing relatively low annual usage. The subsequent 1,439 miles covered between March and July 2025 indicate further light use. This low annual mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. The failures recorded in March 2024 and March 2025 indicate that the vehicle required specific repairs to meet testing standards. While the records do not specify the exact reasons for these failures, a buyer should verify the condition of common components prone to wear such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components. Given the age of the Venga, a physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from oxidation if they sit for extended periods.
