2013 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · MS60 AKK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 at 61,874 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent decline in the condition of the front-end suspension and braking components. While the car passed without defects in 2024, it failed on 11 November 2025 due to excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, a compromised suspension arm ball joint dust cover, and a pitted or scored offside front brake disc. These issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass on the same day. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 4,760 miles per year. The odometer readings show a consistent and steady increase, moving from 51,682 miles in November 2022 to 61,874 miles by November 2025. This suggests the vehicle has been used for light duties rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which typically reduces the risk of perished seals or seized calipers. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering geometry. The record shows a recurring pattern of wear on the front end; the November 2023 test at 54,800 miles flagged slight play in the nearside front track rod end and a severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. Because these components have failed or deteriorated on both the nearside and offside over a three-year period, it is likely the entire front suspension system is reaching the end of its service life. The brake discs also require scrutiny. The November 2025 failure for a pitted and scored offside disc suggests the braking system may have suffered from surface corrosion or uneven wear. Given the low mileage, this often points to the car spending time in damp environments or infrequent use of the brakes. Check for similar pitting on the nearside disc and ensure the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent.
