2015 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · ST65 FVR

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, with a clear deterioration trend evident in the MOT history. The most recent inspection on 2025-10-16 at 87,239 miles was passed, but this date was only 10 months prior to the current date of 2026-06-18. This significant gap indicates that the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle since the previous test, suggesting that maintenance was likely neglected or skipped during the interim period. The test on 2024-10-22 at 75,156 miles failed, which is a critical juncture, as the vehicle was tested less than two months after its last known MOT. This rapid decline in test frequency and the fact that the most recent test occurred two months ago point to a lack of proactive upkeep. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 11 years old with roughly 80,000 miles recorded, which is consistent with typical usage for that age group. However, the data is sparse and clean in the absence of specific gaps or rapid mileage accumulation. The mileage is not accelerating in a way that suggests heavy mechanical wear on consumables like brakes or tyres, but the lack of records at the 75,156 mile mark raises questions about whether the owner maintained the vehicle at a low frequency. The absence of any recorded faults at the 52,817 mile mark from 2022 suggests that the owner may have been absent or the vehicle was not serviced in that period, leaving the mechanical integrity to rely solely on the 2025 and 2024 tests. In conclusion, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for a comprehensive list of defects and structural risks before proceeding. The most pressing concerns are the lack of MOTs in the past, the failing 2024 test, and the corrosion on suspension and brake components noted in the 2025 test. Given the age of the vehicle and the poor history, the buyer must be prepared to perform a thorough visual inspection of the front and rear suspension, brake discs, and exhaust system. Additionally, the 2024 failure of the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and the 2025 failure of the stop lamp linkage indicate that these critical parts may not be functioning correctly, necessitating a full diagnostic of the drivetrain and suspension to determine if the vehicle is roadworthy or requires immediate repair.
