2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN22 JYB

The Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 8,089 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the DVSA history shows no prior failures or advisories. Relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, that clean result stands roughly fourteen months old. The odometer read 8,089 miles at the 2025 test, equating to about 2,022 miles per year across the vehicle's four-year life. This low annual accumulation suggests light use or extended standing periods rather than high motorway turnover. The single-entry record offers no evidence of rapid mileage jumps or neglected interim gaps, though the absence of earlier tests limits longitudinal comparison. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with the 2025 pass gives no flag for suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion, yet standing time can secrete flat-spotted tyres, seized calipers, and fluid degradation the MOT did not capture. Verify the battery condition and underbody for moisture-related corrosion given the likely dormant intervals. Given the clean advisory sheet, no recurring mechanical faults demand correction. The prudent step remains a pre-sale check of consumables and drivetrain seals, since the sparse history confirms compliance but not component longevity.
