2013 KIA Venga 1.4L Petrol · WM13 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 8 July 2026 at 105,082 miles, which yielded a pass with no recorded defects. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as the mechanical issues identified in the mid-2020s have been resolved and have not recurred in the last three testing cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. Between the July 2024 test at 84,644 miles and the July 2025 test at 94,736 miles, the vehicle covered 10,092 miles, while the most recent interval between July 2025 and July 2026 saw an increase of 10,346 miles. This predictable pattern suggests regular, predictable use rather than heavy commercial or erratic driving. A buyer should pay close attention to the drivetrain, specifically the nearside front drive shaft. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with the constant velocity boot, which was flagged as severely deteriorated in both the July 2022 test at 66,035 miles and the July 2023 test at 75,964 miles. Although the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests show no defects, the repetition of this fault suggests a potential vulnerability in how these rubber components are maintained or replaced. While the recent history is clean, the age of the vehicle warrants a physical inspection of all rubber components, including suspension bushes, engine mounts, and additional CV boots. Given the previous deterioration of the nearside boot, checking for any signs of grease leakage or play in the driveshaft joints is a necessary precaution. The lack of advisories for corrosion or brake issues in the recent years is a positive indicator of the vehicle's current structural and braking condition.
