2015 KIA Venga 1.6L Diesel · LC15 MDO

The most recent MOT on 15 May 2025 recorded a pass at 107,413 miles, indicating the vehicle presently meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria. Across the five recorded tests, no defects were logged, and the pattern shows a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trend. Mileage has risen from 85,858 miles in May 2023 to 97,121 miles in May 2024 and then to 107,413 miles in May 2025, averaging roughly 9,700 miles per year for an eleven‑year‑old Venga. This progression aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age; there are no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps that would suggest periods of neglect or unusually heavy duty operation. Although the MOT entries contain no recorded advisories, a prospective buyer should still examine consumable wear items that are not captured by the test. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, verify the integrity of suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of fatigue, and check brake pads, discs and caliper operation for uneven wear or binding. A visual survey of under‑body panels for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the chassis, will confirm the absence of structural rust that the MOT may have missed. A final walk‑around should include a functional test of the steering feel, a short drive to listen for abnormal noises from the drivetrain, and a check of exhaust emissions for any excessive smoke. Addressing these points will ensure the buyer’s assessment aligns with the clean MOT history and the vehicle’s mileage profile.
