2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AO71 HZA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend following a specific failure. The most recent inspection on 19 September 2025 at 25,529 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were addressed, and the vehicle currently meets all DVSA safety and environmental standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 and 2025 tests, the car covered 4,816 miles, showing consistent low-usage patterns. This suggests the vehicle primarily underwent short-distance urban driving. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can occasionally lead to minor corrosion on brake discs or flat-spotting on tyres if the car sits stationary for extended periods. The only recorded failure on 4 September 2024 at 20,713 miles resulted from exposed cords on both the nearside and offside front tyres. While this was rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, a buyer should inspect the current tyre set for even wear patterns and ensure the replacement tyres were of adequate quality. Since the record shows no history of structural corrosion or suspension failures, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of the rubber bushes and checking for brake seizing, which can occur on low-mileage vehicles that are infrequently used.
