2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · BV20 HFS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on October 18, 2025, 30,231 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the car held a clean record in 2023, the most recent test revealed a failure just day prior due to defective wipers and a tyre. The immediate rectification of these faults suggests the owner addresses addressing issues only once they triggered a formal test failure. At six years old with 30,231 miles, the Kia Niro has averaged approximately 5,000 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the national average. There is a notable surge in usage between October 2024 at 16,997 miles and October 2025 at 30,231 miles, where the vehicle covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. This increased activity explains the appearance of wear on consumables like the brake discs and tyres that were not present during the periods of lower mileage. A buyer should inspect the physical condition of all tyres specifically, as the record shows a history of perishing and uneven wear in 2024 and 2025. The nearside rear inner tyre flagged as worn on the edge may indicate an alignment issue or incorrect pressure that needs verifying. Additionally, the rear brake discs noted as pitted and scored in 2024 suggest the vehicle may sit for long periods leading to surface corrosion on the rotors, which is common in low-mileage cars. Given the recent failure of the wipers, ensure the entire set has been replaced and the motor assembly is functioning correctly without streaking.
