2017 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · CW10 PRW

The 2017 Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 45,084 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 27 February 2025 at 40,418 miles confirms the vehicle has avoided recurrent advisories or mechanical faults across its recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a nine-year-old vehicle. From the 24 February 2023 test at 30,608 miles, the car covered only 4,697 miles to the 20 February 2024 test at 36,305 miles, then 4,113 miles to February 2025, and 4,666 miles to March 2026. This equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions issues ever flagged. One anomaly appears: a fail on 26 February 2025 at 40,418 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the next day, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of consumable items that low-mileage, occasionally static vehicles degrade through age rather than use. Check brake discs for surface corrosion and caliper operation after standing periods, and inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for structural rust given the vehicle's age. The absence of advisories across five tests implies the previous keeper maintained basic upkeep and addressed any test requirements promptly. Verify service history to confirm fluid changes and cambelt or hybrid system intervals, as MOT data alone does not capture routine mechanical care.
