KIA NIRO 2 EV2022 · Electric

The Kia Niro 2 EV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 February 2026 at 108,201 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 9 August 2025 at 97,800 miles and 11 February 2025 at 85,007 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 11 February 2025 at 85,005 miles, logged with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the pass later that same day. The mileage pattern shows heavy use for a four-year-old vehicle. From the 8 August 2024 test at 72,719 miles, the car covered 12,288 miles to the February 2025 tests, then 12,793 miles to August 2025, and a further 10,401 miles to February 2026, averaging roughly 27,000 miles per year. No standing periods or gaps appear in the six-month test spacing. The DVSA record is sparse on advisories, with every pass listing no defects, so the high annual accumulation is the principal wear indicator rather than any flagged component degradation. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 108,201 miles accumulated. High mileage EV use stresses consumable items not always caught in a pass with no defects. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity advisories across all tests implies the previous keeper maintained basic standards, but the twin 11 February 2025 entries show the record is not immaculate. Verify the battery state of health and tyre tread depth at the current 108,201 miles, as rapid motorway-style accumulation wears these silently between tests. The clean MOT history offers reassurance on statutory roadworthiness, yet the mileage demands scrutiny of drivetrain mounts and steering joints that the DVSA sheet does not itemise.
