KIA NIRO 2 PHEV S-A2021 · 1.6L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 1 June 2026 at 85,954 miles, yet that same morning it failed the test for a worn offside rear tyre and an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. Following rectification of the lamp, the tester granted a pass but retained the tyre wear as an advisory. Prior records from 19 May 2025 through 4 December 2025 show clean passes with no defects logged. The upkeep pattern reads as stable with a minor late lapse in basic consumable attention. Recorded mileage of 85,954 on a five-year-old 2021 Kia Niro indicates roughly 17,200 miles covered each year, a high figure for a plug-in hybrid of this age. The odometer climbed from 65,862 on 19 May 2025 to 66,497 on 6 June 2025, then to 77,954 on 4 December 2025 and 85,954 on 1 June 2026. This trace reveals steady use with no extended standing periods. Two tests within three weeks in mid-2025 suggest an ownership change or pre-sale check, but neither exposed mechanical faults. A prospective buyer should personally examine the offside rear tyre for tread depth and edge wear, given the tester measured it close to the legal limit. Confirm both rear number plate lamps illuminate correctly despite the recorded repair. The MOT file raises no flags for suspension bushes, brake binding, coil springs, structural corrosion, or emissions anomalies. However, the elevated annual mileage demands a hands-on check of front brake disc thickness, driveshaft gaiters, and hybrid system cooling components for early fatigue.
