2012 KIA Venga 1.4L Petrol · LL12 AEC

The current roadworthiness status of this Kia Venga is excellent, supported by a clear and consistent maintenance trend. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 16 June 2025 at 78,314 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a three-year streak of flawless annual inspections, indicating that the vehicle has been well-maintained and free from recurring mechanical or structural issues. The recorded mileage of 78,314 over a 14-year lifespan averages approximately 5,594 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. This consistent, light usage pattern suggests the car has likely been used for short local journeys rather than high-speed motorway commuting. The history shows no evidence of long periods of inactivity or erratic mileage accumulation, as the annual increments remain steady between 3,000 and 4,500 miles per year. The failure recorded on 15 June 2022 at 67,577 miles appears to be an administrative anomaly or a minor oversight, as the vehicle passed just two days later on 17 June 2022 with no defects noted. Given the absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion, the chassis and running gear appear to be in good condition. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the brake friction surfaces, as low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from seized calipers or surface rust on discs due to infrequent use. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe, though the recent history provides strong confidence in the vehicle's structural integrity.
