2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AJ18 AOC

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 28 April 2025 at 33,185 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,148 miles per year. The usage pattern shows a significant increase in the last two years. Between May 2022 and April 2023, the car covered only 1,579 miles. However, between April 2023 and April 2024, mileage jumped by 9,773 miles, followed by a further 8,555 miles by April 2025. This shift indicates the car has moved from periods of relative dormancy to more regular use. The absence of any advisories or failures across the entire test history is unusual for a vehicle of this age. No issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions have been flagged. This suggests a high standard of care or very light duty cycles that have spared the mechanical components from typical wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Long periods of low use can lead to perished tyre rubber or seized brake calipers. Inspect the tyre date codes to ensure they are not aged out and check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody, as low-mileage cars often spend more time stationary in damp environments.
