2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · BL71 NNV

The Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 50,501 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 12 February 2025 at 35,924 miles. Two consecutive annual tests with zero advisories or failures indicate the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements across its early life. Mileage accumulation sits above typical norms for a 2022 registered vehicle. The car covered 14,577 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, against an overall average of roughly 12,625 miles per year since registration. The recorded history spans only two tests, leaving the period before February 2025 unverified, but the absence of flagged wear at both recorded intervals suggests consumables such as brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes have not yet required intervention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the sparse test history. With no advisories raised on coil springs, steering joints, or exhaust emissions, the mechanical baseline appears sound, yet the high annual mileage means drivetrain components and suspension mounts warrant hands-on checks for early fatigue not visible in a pass-only record. Pre-purchase examination of brake caliper operation and tyre sidewall condition remains sensible due to the mileage load. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners addressed issues before test rather than leaving them as advisories, but only a workshop inspection confirms the actual state of wear-sensitive parts at 50,501 miles.
