2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · D8 JCA

The 2018 Kia Niro presents as roadworthy following a pass on 1 April 2026 at 38,106 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, and prior annual examinations also returned clean results once re-tests cleared. The owner resolved the two earlier failures the same day each occurred, which points to administrative or minor pre-test corrections rather than neglected mechanical condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 4,763 miles per year against an eight-year-old vehicle, a low figure for the age. The odometer moved from 29,850 miles at the 28 March 2024 failure to 29,855 at the 5 April 2024 pass, then 34,018 by 31 March 2025 and 38,106 by April 2026. The gaps show steady low use with no rapid accumulation, though the sparse record leaves little visibility of consumable turnover between tests. No advisories or defects appear across any entry, so the DVSA data alone raises no flag on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, given long standing periods implied by low mileage. Verify the coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre sidewall condition in person, as the clean MOT trail does not confirm wear below test thresholds.
