2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · CE 123

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance record. The most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 25,198 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous test on 13 November 2024, indicating the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids common mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate use for a four year old vehicle. Between the November 2024 test at 13,823 miles and the October 2025 test at 25,198 miles, the car covered 11,375 miles. This represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the first two years of ownership, but the lack of any flagged defects suggests the drivetrain and chassis have handled this increase without premature wear. There are no recurring faults, structural corrosion, or suspension issues documented in the DVSA history. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc thickness or tyre tread depth across two tests suggests a proactive approach to consumable replacement. A physical inspection should focus on standard wear items that MOT tests may overlook, such as the condition of the interior upholstery and the health of the hybrid battery system. Given the clean record, there are no specific mechanical red flags to investigate, though checking for any unreported curb damage to the alloys remains a sensible precaution.
