2015 KIA Venga 1.6L Petrol · YR65 VUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent MOT history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed its latest test in August 2025 at 95,006 miles, this followed two failures within a three-day window. These failures revealed multiple electrical issues and significant braking system neglect. The transition from a clean 2024 record to multiple failures suggests the previous owner only addressed faults once they prevented certification rather than performing regular preventative care. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The car covered roughly 12,700 miles between August 2024 at 82,320 miles and August 2025 at 95,004 miles. This represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the lifetime average but remains within normal parameters for domestic use. The 95,000-mile milestone marks a point where rubber components and suspension hardware typically reach the end of their service. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and electrical assembly. The test in August 2025 flagged thin offside rear brake pads, a pitted and scored disc, and a lagging caliper alongside corrosion on the inner brake hose ferules. You should verify that these components were replaced with high-quality parts rather than just adjusted to pass. Additionally, the recurring mention of a damaged nearside front tyre across 2023 and 2025 suggests a lack of attention to tyre condition and alignment issues. Check all exterior lighting, including the central stop lamp and fog lamp, to ensure the electrical repairs were executed correctly.
