2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FD18 EVV

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 16 June 2025 at 31,384 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This record indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend, as the car has successfully cleared four consecutive annual inspections without any flagged mechanical concerns. The brief failure on 14 June 2023 at 20,246 miles appears to be an administrative anomaly or a rectified oversight, given that the vehicle passed the same inspection just two days later with no recorded faults. The recorded mileage of 31,384 over an eight-year period confirms a low-usage profile, averaging approximately 3,923 miles per annum. This consistent, light accumulation suggests the Kia has avoided the heavy stop-start wear often associated with high-mileage fleet or urban use. The gaps between tests remain standard and consistent with annual requirements, indicating that the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or accelerated corrosion on brake discs and internal seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake friction surfaces and suspension bushes, as low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from surface corrosion on discs due to infrequent use. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, verify the condition of the tyres for age-related perishing rather than just tread depth, as the current mileage suggests the tyres may have been on the vehicle for several years. The lack of recurring advisories points to a well-maintained example, but a visual check of the undercarriage for any signs of surface oxidation remains prudent to ensure long-term structural integrity.
