2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RXZ 4021

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass dated 24 April 2026 at 25 854 miles, with the only recorded defect being front‑tyre wear close to the legal limit on both near‑side and off‑side positions (advisory 5.2.3 (e)). The preceding test on 19 May 2025 at 16 753 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable maintenance pattern with no emerging mechanical deterioration. The recent advisory is a consumable issue rather than a structural or drivetrain failure, so the car remains roadworthy but requires tyre attention. Mileage accumulation between the two tests totals 9 101 miles over roughly eleven months, averaging about 828 miles per month. This rate exceeds the typical 6 464 miles per year for a four‑year‑old vehicle and suggests heavier than average usage or possible trip‑log inconsistencies. The MOT record is sparse, providing only two data points, which limits the ability to detect long‑term wear trends on components such as suspension bushes or brake discs. A prospective buyer should inspect the front tyres for uneven wear and verify that tread depth meets the legal minimum across the whole contact patch. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for cracking or excessive wear, as rapid mileage can accelerate bush degradation. Brake discs and calipers need visual assessment for scoring or corrosion, and the exhaust system should be checked for rust or leaks. Finally, a thorough under‑body scan for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and the chassis, will reveal any hidden structural issues not captured by the MOT advisories.
