2017 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · NA17 KBO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in proactive preventative maintenance. In the February 2026 test at 53,807 miles, the car failed due to a non-functional offside side repeater and poor tyre condition. While it passed immediately after these rectifications, the presence of inner-edge wear on the offside front tyre suggests the owner only addresses issues once they fail inspection rather than monitoring alignment problems early. At nine years old with 53,807 miles, this KIA Venga has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The mileage progression shows consistent but low usage, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 5,700 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This low-intensity use generally preserves the drivetrain but can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the perishing noted on the offside rear tyre. A buyer should inspect the front suspension alignment and geometry specifically, as the inner-edge wear noted in 2026 often points to incorrect camber settings or worn suspension bushes. The 2023 record flagged thin brake pads and worn discs, and while these were likely replaced, the long intervals between tests suggest the owner may be reactive rather than proactive. Given the age and low mileage, also check for surface corrosion on the undercarriage and brake lines, as vehicles that sit for long periods can suffer from accelerated oxidation compared to those used daily.
