2022 KIA NIRO1.6L HYBRID ELECTRIC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean sheet in 2025 to advisory notices in 2026 indicates the onset of wear. While the car passed without mechanical failures, the flagging of worn tyres suggests the vehicle is entering a stage where consumable components will require immediate attention to prevent future failures. At 46,555 miles over four years, the Kia Niro averages approximately 11,600 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical annual usage for a modern hybrid vehicle. The interval of 12,462 miles between the April 2025 test and the April 2026 test shows consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. This regular mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the health of the braking system and engine components. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension due to the edge wear noted on the nearside and offside rear tyres. Uneven edge wear often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that have not yet triggered a MOT failure. Given the mileage, the inspector should also verify the condition of the brake pads and discs for signs of thinning or uneven wear, as the record does not detail the state of the braking components.
