2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · AE71 XGC

The 2022 Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 May 2025 at 36,001 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior test on 7 January 2025 at 33,034 miles also passed clean. Across both examinations the DVSA record shows no advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle has not entered any worsening fault cycle and current condition sits within expected parameters for its age. Mileage accumulation is modest and consistent with typical use. The car covered only 2,967 miles between January and May 2025, equating to roughly 9,000 miles per year since registration in 2022. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the supplied history. The sparse two-entry record shows a clean pass profile with no consumable wear flags such as tyres, wiper blades, or brake discs noted at either interval. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories does not confirm suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions components are free from early wear, only that they met pass thresholds on test days. Given the low annual mileage, check for deterioration from standing such as flat-spotted tyres, corroded brake calipers, or perished rubber mounts. Verify service history against the 33,034 and 36,001 mile points to confirm fluids and filters were changed on schedule. The record implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, but no data exists on intermediate maintenance. Treat the MOT as a minimum legal standard rather than proof of thorough care.
