2015 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · ML15 OPJ

The 2015 Kia Venga presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 November 2025 at 38,834 miles, with the maintenance trend showing stability across its recent history. The only blemish is a failure on 12 September 2025 at 38,822 miles, where the tester recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical refusal rather than a fault-driven rejection. Prior to that, the vehicle passed every annual test from 5 September 2022 through 6 September 2024 with no advisories logged. The odometer sat at 23,960 miles in September 2022 and rose to 38,834 miles by November 2025, an average of roughly 3,530 miles per year against an eleven-year life. Mileage crept from 27,233 in September 2023 to 32,361 in September 2024, then jumped 6,473 miles in the thirteen months to the 2025 tests. Such low yearly use suggests extended standing periods, though the recent climb hints at increased activity by the last keeper. The DVSA record itself is sparse, carrying no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions flags across the span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low-mileage dormancy, which can accelerate perishing of rubber and seizing of calipers. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of early corrosion. Verify the reason for the September 2025 failure with DVLA paperwork, since a no-defect fail often points to a documentation or identification mismatch rather than wear.
