2014 KIA Venga 1.4L Petrol · WA64 RVE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 61,756 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable history regarding mechanical and structural components, though a significant failure occurred just five days prior to that pass. The failure at 61,699 miles due to both front tyres being below the legal 1.6mm limit indicates the owner immediately replaced the rubber to achieve a clean certificate, suggesting a reactive but functional approach to safety-critical items. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 61,756 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,146 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of 7,535 miles covered between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 7,034 miles between September 2024 and October 2025. This low annual mileage often masks age-related degradation such as dry rubber components or perished seals, rather than heavy mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The 2024 advisory noting the nearside front tyre was worn on the outer edge, followed by the 2025 failure of both front tyres suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn ball arm bushings and wish joints. These components can cause premature tyre wear and should be checked for play or tearing. While the record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, the primary concern remains the condition of the front-end suspension components relative to the vehicle's age.
