2021 KIA Niro 3 EV Electric · CA71 AWR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 22,128 miles with no defects, indicating it met DVSA standards at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable, as both the 2024 and 2025 tests recorded no advisories or failures, showing consistent compliance. Between the 13,611‑mile test on 13 November 2024 and the 22,128‑mile test on 28 October 2025 the odometer rose by 8,517 miles in roughly 11 months, averaging about 770 miles per month. This rate far exceeds the typical 4,400‑mile annual figure for a five‑year‑old electric hatchback and suggests either intensive use or possible mileage anomalies. The gap between the two tests is just under a year, keeping the MOT history relatively current as of 28 July 2026. Despite the clean MOT records, the rapid mileage accumulation warrants a hands‑on check of wear items. Examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear, test the rear brakes for binding calipers, and inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for play. Check tyre tread depth and pressure across all four wheels, as uneven wear can indicate alignment or load‑distribution issues. Verify the battery pack connectors and cooling system for corrosion, and look for any signs of structural rust around the sill and wheel arches. A thorough under‑body inspection and a road test for smooth operation will provide additional confidence in the vehicle’s condition.
