2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · AV69 LZR

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on January 2026 at 61,138 miles resulted in no defects recorded, following two consecutive clean passes in December 2025 and June 2025. This indicates that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the minimum DVSA standards and that any previous issues have been addressed or resolved by the current owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between January 2025 at 38,551 miles and June 2025 at 48,063 miles, representing nearly 10,000 miles covered in just five months. However, the rate slowed considerably later in the year, with only 1,828 miles recorded between December 2025 and January 2026. This fluctuating usage suggests periods of high-intensity driving followed by more recent lighter use or shorter trips. The single failure recorded on 23 June 2025 at 47,962 miles is an anomaly given that the vehicle passed a retest just three days later without further defects. Because no advisories were listed in the subsequent tests, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of consumable items that wear at this mileage. Focus on checking the suspension bushes for cracking, brake pad thickness for uneven wear, and the condition of the tyres. Given the age and mileage, ensuring the hybrid battery cooling system filters have been treated according to manufacturer specifications is essential for long-term reliability.
