2018 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · YA18 CDK

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 April 2025 at 45,409 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean record across the last four annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not encountered the mechanical or structural failures common in cars of this age. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,676 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 15,663 miles and the April 2024 test at 33,932 miles, the car covered 18,269 miles, which represents a slight increase in usage compared to earlier years. However, the 11,477 miles covered since the 2025 test suggests consistent, light usage, which typically puts less strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage sitting periods. A buyer should check for cracking in rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish over time regardless of distance driven. The inspector should also verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to seized calipers or uneven wear that a standard MOT test might not fully flag.
