2022 KIA Niro 2 EV Electric · BV22 WKA

This KIA Niro 2 EV demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record, with both recent MOT tests—conducted on 4 March 2026 and 10 March 2025—resulting in clean passes at 7,148 and 5,321 miles respectively. No defects, advisories, or failings were recorded during either test, indicating the vehicle has undergone consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of recurring issues suggests the previous owner adhered to scheduled maintenance, though an independent inspection remains essential to verify the integrity of non-MOT-tested components such as high-voltage battery health, suspension alignment, and wear items like brake pads. The recorded mileage of 7,148 miles over approximately four years—roughly 1,787 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Niro 2 EV’s typical usage patterns. Such minimal mileage may imply prolonged periods of inactivity or storage, which could accelerate wear on fluid-sealed components like suspension bushes, wheel bearings, and brake calipers due to lack of motion. Conversely, it reduces the likelihood of high-mileage concerns such as excessive brake disc warping or suspension sag. The gap between tests—just under a year—aligns with the MOT’s 12-month cycle, though the vehicle’s low usage means some wear items (e.g., wiper blades, cabin filters) may require more frequent replacement than the MOT schedule dictates. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus of an in-person inspection should centre on components not routinely tested, such as the high-voltage battery system for any signs of degradation or fluid leaks. The suspension should be assessed for perished bushes or worn coil springs, particularly if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Brake systems, though not failed in MOT tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, which could arise from infrequent use. Additionally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody mounts, as prolonged inactivity can exacerbate moisture-related deterioration. Tyre condition, despite not failing, should be verified for uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment or suspension issues.
