2020 KIA Niro 4 EV Electric · B13 GAK

The 2020 Kia Niro 4 EV shows a current roadworthy status following the August 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded at 118,097 miles on 11 August 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, as every annual test from 2023 through 2025 returned a pass with no defects logged. A curious anomaly sits in the same-day fail and pass on 11 August 2025 at identical mileage; the failure carried no recorded defects, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation runs high for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows 66,040 miles at the August 2023 test, rising to 89,870 by August 2024 and 118,097 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 23,000 miles in the final year and an overall average near 19,700 miles annually, well above typical private-use EV patterns. The sparse four-entry history leaves large gaps unobserved, yet the clean defect sheets at each checkpoint suggest the previous keeper kept basic statutory compliance in order despite the heavy use. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the elevated annual mileage, as high-distance EVs wear these components without triggering MOT advisories when within limits. The drivetrain and battery enclosure deserve scrutiny for structural corrosion or impact damage the annual test may not have flagged. The same-day fail with zero defects warrants a check of the DVSA test certificate and VIN alignment to confirm no clerical issue masks a withdrawn result.
