2010 KIA Venga 1.4L Diesel · PN60 ACF

The Kia Venga presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 13 January 2026 at 80,959 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in January 2025 at 71,171 miles and January 2024 at 62,817 miles also passed cleanly. The sole anomaly appears on 25 August 2023 where the system logs both a pass and a fail at 61,965 miles, each with no defects cited, indicating an administrative irregularity rather than a mechanical concern. Overall the vehicle shows a consistent clean test history across the last three years. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a sixteen year old hatchback. The odometer read 61,965 miles in August 2023, then 62,817 miles by January 2024, a mere 852 miles over five months suggesting a period of minimal running. Annual distance rose to 8,354 miles by January 2025 and 9,788 miles by January 2026, still below the national average. Such low yearly totals imply the car may have spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion despite low mechanical wear. With no advisories or defects across the recorded tests, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age-related deterioration not captured by MOT checks. Suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers on a 2010 model with intermittent use warrant hands-on assessment for stiffness or binding. Examine subframe and sills for structural rust given the vehicle's age and possible long standing periods. Verify tyre sidewall condition and brake disc surface even though tread and emissions passed. The clean record implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, yet absence of advisories does not confirm consumable freshness. A pre-purchase check of battery health, coolant integrity and cambelt interval remains prudent. The contradictory 2023 entries should be clarified with DVSA to confirm authentic test status before purchase.
