2020 KIA Niro 4 EV Electric · BK70 ABZ

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass dated 29 June 2026 at 42 050 miles, indicating it meets the minimum legal standards at the time of testing. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of consumable wear rather than progressive failure. The most recent test flags front‑tyre wear close to the legal limit with edge cracking, while the rear brake discs were noted as worn and pitted in the June 2025 test. These defects have persisted across successive examinations, suggesting routine upkeep has not fully arrested the natural deterioration of tyres and braking components. Mileage accumulation has been consistent since the 2023 failures. Between the August 2023 tests (23 423 miles) and the latest reading (42 050 miles) the car has covered roughly 18 627 miles over about 2.9 years, averaging around 6 400 miles annually. The early period shows lower annual mileage, but the recent yearly rate is slightly higher than the overall 7 000‑mile‑per‑year norm for a six‑year‑old electric SUV. The MOT gaps are regular, with no unexplained omissions, indicating the vehicle has been serviced at appropriate intervals. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for uneven wear, edge cracking and any signs of impact damage, as the 2026 test and the 2023 failure both highlighted this issue. The rear brake discs require close examination for pitting and scoring; while not yet seriously weakened, the condition may affect braking efficiency over time. Additionally, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion, verify the battery’s state of health, and look for any structural rust around wheel arches or underbody panels. These checks will confirm whether the recorded wear items represent normal usage or hidden deterioration.
