2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · BV71 KNC

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by two consecutive clean MOT records. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 January 2026 at 55,515 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed mechanical requirements before they could result in failures during the DVSA testing process. The mileage profile reflects significant usage for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 41,489 miles and the January 2026 test, the car covered 14,026 miles in a single twelve-month period. This consistent accumulation suggests regular long-distance or motorway driving, which typically results in less strain on the clutch and brake components compared to short-distance city-only cycles. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components subject to accelerated wear. A buyer should evaluate the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show signs of degradation after 50,000 miles. The brake discs should also be checked for uneven wear or thinning, given the high-frequency use implied by the mileage figures. Focus should also be placed on tyre tread depth and matching to ensure the high mileage has not led to premature replacement. Since the record shows no historical structural corrosion or exhaust issues, the primary integrity of the chassis appears sound. The lack of recorded advisories suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained despite its heavy usage patterns.
