2017 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN67 PZJ

The 2017 Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 99,272 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry exists on the same date at 99,270 miles, yet the DVSA log shows no defects cited, and the vehicle passed minutes later at a marginally higher mileage, indicating an administrative or data anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage progression across the record is consistent and unremarkable for a nine-year-old vehicle. The car covered 67,104 miles by 25 April 2022, rose to 76,660 by 17 April 2023, then 87,721 by 3 May 2024, and 99,272 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year, matching typical use. No standing periods or sudden accumulation show in the gaps between annual tests. The clean advisory history across all five entries means the tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions concerns. Previous owners clearly kept the car to a standard that satisfied annual roadworthiness checks without outstanding consumable wear. Such a record implies disciplined servicing rather than deferred upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. Verify brake caliper operation, inspect underbody structural integrity for latent rust, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition. The absence of recorded faults does not exempt a 99,000-mile hybrid from normal ageing of dampers and battery cooling components, which MOT tests do not deeply assess.
