2016 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · CX66 NMA

The 2016 Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 71,402 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Annual mileage has tracked close to the typical expectation for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show 49,376 miles in March 2022, rising to 56,044 by March 2023, 60,771 by March 2024, 66,702 by March 2025, and 71,402 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 5,600 to 6,000 miles added each year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail because every test logged a pass and no advisories, so the file gives no warning signs of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of recorded advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding brake discs, or tired coil springs were not flagged, but testers only report at the point of failure. Given the car is now past its tenth year, we would check subframe and sill structural integrity for age-related corrosion and confirm the hybrid brake system shows no binding calipers from low-use cycling. Previous owners appear to have kept the Niro to a disciplined service and test routine. Repeated passes with zero defects suggest basic upkeep was not skipped, though the lack of advisory history denies the buyer insight into approaching wear on tyres or wiper blades. Pre-purchase checks should verify actual tread depth and screen wash function, items a clean MOT will not expose.
