2012 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · MM12 AEK

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 November 2025 at 78,221 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring mechanical failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,587 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained steady, with 6,441 miles added between November 2022 and November 2023, followed by a significant drop to just 443 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This recent decline in usage suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which can lead to specific degradation issues despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from inactivity rather than wear. While the MOT record shows no failures for brake discs or calipers, cars that sit idle often develop binding calipers or surface corrosion on the brake discs. Check the tyre sidewalls for flat spots or perishing, as the low annual mileage may mean the rubber has aged out before the tread has worn. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion, particularly on the chassis and suspension mounting points. Although the tester flagged no issues in the November 2025 check, the absence of any recorded advisories over four years is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle. Verify that the engine oil and coolant are clean and that the battery holds a strong charge, as these are the primary areas where low-use vehicles typically fail.
