2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · 12 JN

The Kia Niro presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 51,913 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every recorded examination resulting in a pass aside from a failed entry on 16 September 2025 at the same mileage that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or recurring defects appear in the five-year record. The odometer shows 19,206 miles on 28 April 2023, rising to 21,883 miles by 19 September 2023, then 42,317 miles on 14 September 2024 and 51,913 miles on 17 September 2025. Annual accumulation averaged roughly 8,650 miles, consistent with typical use for a six-year-old vehicle. The sparse clean record shows no rapid accumulation bursts or standing gaps that would flag abnormal drivetrain or suspension stress. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not captured by a fault-free MOT, specifically brake disc wear, suspension bushes, and underbody corrosion given the car's age. The absence of advisories means the DVSA tester found no immediate concern with exhaust emissions or structural integrity at the last examination. Given the two consecutive September 2025 entries at identical mileage, confirm with the seller whether rectification or a paperwork error caused the initial failure. Otherwise the documented history implies disciplined upkeep by previous keepers with no deferred mechanical work evident in the official record.
