2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FH69 MGO

The vehicle presents a strong level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on January 14, 2026 at 48,138 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that all mechanical and safety components currently meet DVSA standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained without significant structural or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable cluster of activity between July 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in just six months, followed by a more relaxed usage rate of 5,000 miles over the final eighteen months. The total distance of 48,138 miles is relatively low for the age, which generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension assembly compared to high-mileage examples. The only recorded failure in the history occurred on January 6, 2025 at 42,649 miles, due to front brake pads measuring below the 1.5mm legal limit. The owner addressed this immediately, as the vehicle passed a retest that same day, showing proactive attention to consumable maintenance. A buyer should still verify the current thickness of the front brake pads and inspect the discs for uneven scoring or thinning to ensure the replacement was handled correctly and has lasted the subsequent mileage accumulation. Since the record shows no advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or exhaust leaks, the physical inspection should focus on the condition of the rubber components and checking for any fluid leaks around the undercarriage. Given the low mileage, checking for signs of flat spotting on tyres or degradation of fluids is also advisable. The overall data suggests a vehicle that has been subjected to moderate use with consistent upkeep.
