2016 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · MT66 ACV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record over the past three years, with no defects recorded in the most recent MOT on 2025-10-30 at 24,941 miles. The 2024 and 2023 tests at 16,932 and 15,483 miles also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. While a 2023-10-18 test showed a failure, no defects were logged, suggesting a possible administrative error or unrelated non-roadworthy issue. The absence of recurring mechanical faults implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the low mileage of 24,941 over 10 years raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression reveals a gradual increase, with the car accumulating 13,314 miles by 2022-10-12, then 15,483 miles by 2023-10-18, and 16,932 miles by 2024-10-25. A significant jump to 24,941 miles by 2025-10-30 suggests accelerated use in the final year, which could strain components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the MOT records show no evidence of wear-related failures, implying the previous owner prioritized upkeep. The sparse data between 2022 and 2025, with only annual tests, limits insight into intermediate maintenance but does not indicate neglect. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, as low mileage may mask wear in bushes or coil springs due to infrequent use. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny given the sudden mileage increase. Corrosion risks, especially in body panels, should be checked, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the vehicle’s mechanical integrity depends on verifying that the previous owner addressed potential storage-related degradation before the final test.
