2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FG70 EFZ

The Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 50,871 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 31 October 2024 at 41,896 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,478 miles per year against the vehicle's 2020 build, a typical use profile for this age. The records show 29,855 miles at the 12 October 2023 test, rising to 41,896 miles by 31 October 2024 and 50,871 miles by October 2025, a consistent ~12,000 miles per year with no abrupt accumulation or prolonged standing implied. The sparse, defect-free entries across all four tests indicate previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, though the 24 October 2024 failure at 41,896 miles with no defects logged points to an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, rectified by the pass one week later. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the record supplies no advisory data to evidence wear on those components. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the DVSA entries does not exempt the underside from a ramp check for early rust. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on consumable items the MOT may not capture: tyre sidewall condition, wiper blade wear, and fluid levels. The records imply competent upkeep, but no test has logged component-specific measurements a purchaser can rely on beyond the pass outcomes themselves.
