2022 KIA Niro 4 + EV Electric · FD71 OVU

The 2022 KIA NIRO 4 + EV presents a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 22 January 2026 at 56,886 miles. The tester recorded no defects or advisories, demonstrating that the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time. This outcome indicates the car has remained mechanically sound and free of recurring faults over the documented period. The mileage accumulation sits notably high for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 14,222 miles annually. Between the 12 February 2025 test at 48,173 miles and the January 2026 test at 56,886 miles, the car covered 8,713 miles in just under eleven months. This rate of use suggests sustained motorway or long-distance driving rather than short urban trips. The MOT record itself is sparse, containing only two entries, but both are entirely clean, leaving no documented history of mechanical failures or component replacements. Despite the flawless MOT record, the elevated mileage warrants a focused physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes, as these consumables degrade faster under sustained high-mileage use. The regenerative braking system typical of electric vehicles can mask early-stage brake caliper binding or disc corrosion, making a thorough check of the braking system essential. Inspecting the charging port, high-voltage battery health, and cable integrity remains critical for an EV of this age and mileage. While the documentation shows no structural or mechanical red flags, the rapid accumulation of miles implies the drivetrain and chassis have endured above-average stress. Verifying the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers will confirm whether the suspension has coped well with the demands of high-distance driving.
