2015 KIA Venga 1.6L Diesel · SF65 SDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a remarkably clean maintenance history. The most recent test on 3 October 2025 at 82,900 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one day prior at 82,899 miles. This immediate reversal suggests a clerical error or a minor component non-conformity that was rectified instantly, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed inspections without recorded faults, indicating a consistent standard of mechanical upkeep. The mileage pattern is highly consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression from 53,447 miles in August 2022 to 82,900 miles in October 2025. The gap of 15,693 miles covered between the 2022 and 2025 tests reflects regular usage without the accelerated degradation often associated with long periods of stationary vehicles. This low-mile profile typically correlates with less wear on rubber components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain assemblies compared to high-mileage urban vehicles. Given the absence of recorded advisories for structural corrosion or brake wear, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than recurring mechanical faults. A buyer should check the chassis for surface rust on the sills, as MOT tests do not flag surface corrosion until it becomes structural. Additionally, verify the condition of the tyres and brake fluid against their age, as low mileage can sometimes mask perished rubber despite sufficient tread depth. The record suggests a well-maintained example that has avoided the common mechanical flags seen in many vehicles of this era.
