Our Verdict

A strong candidate for electric vehicle buyers looking for a relatively modern, low-mileage example. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, suggesting a consistent pass record for this specific black Niro 4 + EV.

When inspecting this electric model, focus on the physical condition of the battery housing and any signs of underside impact, although no such issues have appeared in its MOT history. Ensure you verify the charging cable set is included, as these can be expensive to replace.

Since this is an EV, you should ask for documentation regarding battery health (SOH - State of Health) if available. While the MOT history is clean, a physical check of the tyres is advised, as 'tyre' is the most common failure reason for this model type across the wider dataset.

As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity consumption and insurance. Tax for most EVs is currently lower than internal combustion engines, though you should check the specific tax band for this 2021 registration.

Maintenance costs for the Niro 4 + EV are typically lower than petrol equivalents due to fewer moving parts. However, you should budget for regular tyre replacements and cabin filter changes. We estimate annual running costs to be relatively predictable compared to traditional vehicles.

Given that 'tyre' is the leading cause of MOT failure for this model aggregate, check the tread depth and sidewall integrity on all four tyres. Even though the 2025 MOT recorded no defects, tyres are a high-wear item on heavier electric vehicles.

Inspect the charging port for any signs of debris or damage and test the vehicle's ability to accept a charge. Additionally, check the brake pads and discs; while regenerative braking reduces wear, they can still suffer from corrosion if the vehicle has been sitting idle for long periods.

This 2021 KIA Niro 4 + EV has covered 40,594 miles since its first registration in December 2021. The vehicle has two recorded MOT tests, both resulting in passes with no defects noted in 2024 or 2025. Its mileage sits slightly above the model average of 9,452 per year, but the lack of recorded failures is a positive indicator for this specific unit.

The KIA Niro model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.4% across 8,362 analysed vehicles.
