2021 KIA Niro 4 + EV Electricity · BK71 KNO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a slight decline in preventative maintenance. While the car passed its August 2024 test with no recorded defects, the September 2025 test at 39,429 miles flagged advisories for both the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This suggests that while the mechanical components remained functional enough to pass, the owner has recently neglected routine consumable replacements. The recorded mileage of 39,429 miles over five years equates to an average of approximately 7,886 miles per annum, which aligns with typical annual usage for a modern electric vehicle. There is a significant gap between the 2024 test at 8,582 miles and the 2025 test, where the vehicle covered over 30,000 miles in a short period. This rapid accumulation of mileage explains the accelerated wear observed on the rear tyres during the latest MOT cycle. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension, as the edge wear noted in the 2025 record often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage covered between the last two tests, it is also necessary to check the brake discs for uneven wear and the calipers for signs of seizing or binding. The history shows no structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, but the transition from a clean record to tyre advisories indicates that the vehicle now requires immediate attention to its service items.
