Used Kia Venga for sale in Europe

About the Kia Venga

The Kia Venga is a small five-door MPV with a tall roofline and a flat, practical interior. It was built in Slovakia and sold in Europe from 2010 to 2019. It shares its platform with the Hyundai ix20. It suits drivers who want easy access, good visibility and a roomy cabin in a compact footprint.

Engines were small petrol and diesel units. The petrol range centred on 1.4 and 1.6 litre engines. The diesels were 1.4 and 1.6 litre CRDi engines in different power outputs. Most cars have a manual gearbox, and some petrol versions came with an automatic. Our listings also include a number of LPG-converted cars.

The Venga is a family runabout rather than a driver's car. It works as a first car, a second car or a practical commuter. Trim levels and equipment vary by country, so compare the actual specification of each car, not just the model name.

Generations

• First generation (2010-2019) — The Venga was sold as a single generation, with a facelift around 2015 that updated styling, equipment and some drivetrain details.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings rise steadily with model year. The median for 2010 cars is €4,100, for 2013 cars €6,100 and for 2019 cars €13,200. The median across all model years is €6,300. Within any single year the spread is wide, because mileage, engine, trim level and country of sale all differ. Compare cars of the same year and similar mileage rather than relying on one figure. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Kia Venga

Start with the paperwork, then check the car cold, before the engine has warmed up. Take a test drive that includes a motorway stretch and some slow urban driving.

• Service history and mileage

  Ask for a full service record with dated invoices. Compare the mileage against service stamps, MOT or inspection reports and the dashboard. Regular oil changes matter on small engines, so be cautious if intervals look stretched or the history has gaps.

• Particulate filter and EGR · Diesel (1.4 and 1.6 CRDi)

  Cars used mostly for short trips can have clogged particulate filters or EGR systems. Check for warning lights, rough idle or loss of power on the test drive. Ask whether the filter has ever been cleaned or replaced.

• Cold start and oil level · Petrol (1.4 and 1.6)

  Listen for rattling or unusual noise in the first seconds after a cold start, which can point to timing drive wear. Check the oil level and colour, and ask the seller how much oil the car uses between services.

• Conversion paperwork · LPG-converted cars

  LPG systems are usually aftermarket fitments. Ask for the installer's documentation, the tank certification or inspection date and service records for the gas system. Check that the car runs smoothly on both fuels and switches over without hesitation.

• Clutch, gearbox and suspension

  Check clutch bite point and gearbox noise on a manual. On an automatic, look for smooth shifts. Drive over uneven roads and listen for knocks from the front suspension, which can indicate worn links or bushes.

• Glass roof, seals and electrics

  If the car has a panoramic glass roof, operate it and look for water marks in the headlining. Test windows, air conditioning, central locking and all dashboard functions, as small electrical faults can be tedious to trace.

• Recall status

  Ask the seller for the VIN and check with a Kia dealer whether any recall or service campaign is open for the car. This is especially useful for cars imported from another country, where records may be held elsewhere.
