2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · CK71 WNP

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 02 September 2025 at 13,534 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a missing registration plate lamp. This minor cosmetic and lighting defect was rectified immediately, and the absence of any advisories across both tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained in good condition throughout the period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 11,002 miles and the September 2025 test at 13,534 miles, the car covered only 2,532 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear, which typically preserves components like brakes, suspension bushes, and drivetrain elements. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the record shows no history of structural rust, brake issues, or mechanical failures, the inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for corrosion on the brake discs due to lack of use and verify the condition of the tyres for cracking despite high tread depth. Given the clean history, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained or used sparingly, with no mechanical red flags identified in the DVSA data.
