Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2010 Kia Venga passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2026 at 66,979 miles, but the tester flagged a corroded offside rear coil spring, indicating a worsening structural trend. This is not an isolated issue. Corrosion on rear coil springs has appeared on four of the last five tests, dating back to June 2023 at 47,804 miles. The problem migrated from the nearside rear in 2024 to both rear springs in 2023 and 2025, and now returned to the offside rear in 2026. Front brake discs were also flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in both 2024 and 2025, though the 2026 record shows no such advisory. This suggests the front discs may have been replaced recently, but the persistent rear spring corrosion points to a long-term exposure issue rather than a one-off failure. The mileage progression tells a story of very light use. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the car covered just 14,174 miles over three years, averaging under 4,725 miles annually. The jump from 55,323 miles in May 2024 to 61,978 miles in May 2025 represents 6,655 miles in a single year, a notable spike after a period of minimal use. The most recent test at 66,979 miles in June 2026 shows only 5,001 additional miles over thirteen months, returning to a low-usage pattern. This stop-start history can accelerate corrosion on underbody components, as short trips prevent moisture from burning off and standing periods allow surface rust to establish. A buyer should prioritise a close inspection of the rear suspension. The repeated coil spring corrosion advisories across multiple years suggest the rear springs are operating in a persistently damp or salt-exposed environment. Surface corrosion can progress to pitting and reduced spring rate, affecting ride height and handling. Have a garage check both rear springs for deep pitting, cracking, or sag, and inspect the rear subframe and mounting points for corresponding corrosion. The front brake disc advisories in 2024 and 2025 may have been addressed, but verify disc condition and pad wear to confirm replacement was carried out. Tyre condition advisories in 2025 on all four wheels, citing cracking and perishing, indicate the rubber is ageing. Check the date codes on all tyres, including the spare, as perished sidewalls pose a genuine failure risk regardless of tread depth.
