2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · DP21 AFF

The most recent MOT test, completed on 24 June 2025 at 28,240 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. The earlier test on 29 May 2024 at 19,061 miles also passed without any advisories. Across two consecutive full inspections, the vehicle has presented a stable and fault-free maintenance record, which points to consistent mechanical condition rather than a deteriorating trend. The recorded mileage sits low for a vehicle of this age. At a 2021 registration, the car has covered roughly 5,648 miles per year, which reflects light usage. Between the two MOT tests, the vehicle accumulated 9,179 miles in approximately 13 months, a period of moderate and consistent running that contradicts any suggestion the car stood idle for long stretches. The main limitation is that only two test entries exist in the history, so any long-term pattern beyond this specific window cannot be verified. With no advisories or structural warnings logged, there are no known defects to carry forward to a prospective buyer. That said, a five-year-old car with this kind of usage profile can still develop hidden issues. The buyer should personally inspect tyre tread depth across all four corners, check the brake discs and pads for lipping or scoring, and look for perished suspension bushes or cracked coil springs. Short-distance use tends to accelerate brake disc wear and can leave exhaust systems prone to internal corrosion, so a visual check of the underside remains sensible even though the DVSA record shows a clean bill of health at the last test.
