2018 KIA Venga 1.6L Diesel · SW18 MEV

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT test on 14 July 2025 at 53,002 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating the car was in a sound mechanical state at that time. This follows four consecutive years of defect-free results dating back to June 2021, suggesting a pattern of proactive ownership and consistent upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears steady and consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between June 2021 and June 2022, the car covered 8,346 miles, followed by 10,100 miles in the following year. The jump from 32,642 miles in June 2023 to 43,350 miles in July 2024 shows a controlled increase in usage, and the most recent interval to July 2025 shows a similar progression to 53,002 miles. This average of roughly 6,600 miles per year avoids the potential pitfalls of extreme long-term stationary periods which can lead to perished rubber components or seized calipers. Because the MOT record is exceptionally clean, there are no documented trends of recurring faults such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues. A prospective buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the tyre tread and brake pad thickness, as these consumables are not always flagged as advisories if they remain just above the legal limit. Given the lack of recorded structural or mechanical issues, the primary focus during a viewing should be verifying the service history to ensure oil changes have matched this high standard of MOT compliance.
