AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2026‑03‑07 MOT at 76,663 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable over the past three years. The mileage has risen from 59,269 miles in March 2023 to 76,663 miles in March 2026, an average increase of roughly 5,000 miles per year, which is modest for a 14‑year‑old Kia Venga and suggests light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The 2024‑03‑09 test at 67,124 miles failed, yet no defects were noted, indicating that any issue was minor or not captured in the record. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, corroded coil springs and any binding in the rear brake calipers, while also examining the condition of the brake discs and pads for scoring or uneven wear. Inspection of the exhaust for rust or leaks and a visual check for structural rust on the chassis and wheel arches are also advisable. Given the clean MOT history and low annual mileage, the Venga appears to have been cared for, but a thorough physical inspection of high‑stress components remains essential before purchase.
