2015 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · SY15 PYD

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a trend of recurring mechanical wear and deferred preventative maintenance. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 75,320 miles passed, it carried over advisories for corroded rear brake pipes and a perishing rear tyre. This specific brake pipe issue was also flagged during the 2024 test, indicating that the owner opted to monitor the corrosion rather than replace the components when they were first identified two years prior. At approximately 11 years old, the recorded 75,320 miles represent an average of roughly 6,850 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban usage. The mileage progression is steady, with approximately 10,000 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,400 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the rubber components are clearly degrading due to age rather than high mileage alone. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The track rod end ball joint failed in February 2024 with excessive play and was noted with slight play again in 2025; the buyer should verify if this was replaced or if the wear persists. The recurring oil leak noted in 2024 requires a visual underbody to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant engine seal failure. Furthermore, the persistent corrosion on the rear brake pipes should be checked for structural thinning to ensure they are not nearing failure, which would lead to an immediate MOT failure.
