2013 KIA Venga 1.4L Diesel · YC13 OAA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 4 December 2025 at 131,728 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within twenty-four hours. In November 2024 and December 2025, the car failed the test only to be cleared the very next day. This suggests the previous owner addressed minor, rectifyable defects such as blown bulbs or wiper blades immediately upon notification, rather than neglecting the vehicle. At 131,728 miles over 13 years, this Kia Venga aligns with a typical usage profile of approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with a 7,709-mile gap between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 2,545 miles recorded between November 2024 and December 2025. This regularity indicates the vehicle is used for regular commuting rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal engine corrosion and seal degradation. While the clean result sheets in the most recent tests suggest no major mechanical failures, the high mileage demands a physical inspection of wear-heavy components. A buyer should scrutinise the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often perish at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion or surface rust is essential, as the MOT only identifies rust once it has compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
