Our Verdict
This is a strong used EV purchase with a clean recent MOT record and low mileage for its age. The only minor note is a flagged tyre cut in 2025 that should be confirmed as resolved before you buy.
Because this is a 2022 EV with a clean MOT history, focus your checks on the battery health and charging system rather than mechanical wear. Ask for the full service history and confirm the recommended KIA inspections have been carried out, even though EVs have fewer service items than petrol or diesel cars. Use the 2025 note of a near-side rear tyre cut to negotiate a fresh set of tyres or a discount if the current ones show ageing, and verify the cut has not worsened.
As a pure electric vehicle, AV72VSM benefits from zero road tax and low 'fuel' costs compared with petrol equivalents, though exact insurance group and economy figures are not provided in the data. Maintenance is generally lower for EVs, but budget for tyre wear, brake fluid changes, and cabin filters; the 2025 MOT showed a rear tyre cut, highlighting that tyres are a real running cost on heavier EVs. Based on typical EV ownership, estimated annual running costs including electricity, insurance, tax, and maintenance would be around £700-£900.
The 2025 MOT recorded a near-side rear tyre with a cut not deep enough to reach the ply or cords; inspect that tyre closely for any extension of the cut or uneven wear, and check all four tyres for age and condition. The 2026 MOT passed with no defects, so no structural or safety failures are recorded, but confirm the battery state of charge and that both AC and DC charging work without error messages. As no model aggregate reliability data is available, rely on a physical inspection and a battery health report from the seller to supplement the clean MOT record.
AV72VSM is a 2022 KIA NIRO 4 EV in black, first registered in September 2022, with just two MOT tests on record. The most recent test on 2026-05-26 passed at 20,150 miles with no defects, and the 2025 test passed at 16,479 miles with only a minor non-dangerous near-side rear tyre cut noted. With under 21,000 miles after nearly four years, the vehicle appears lightly used and well maintained for an electric family car.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the KIA NIRO 4 EV to indicate common failure patterns.
