2021 KIA Niro 4 + EV Electric · FN71 LDJ

The 2021 KIA NIRO 4 + EV presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 21 August 2025 at 38,808 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories during this most recent assessment, mirroring the identical outcome of the prior test on 22 August 2024. This consecutive fault-free record indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard, with no emerging or recurring issues requiring immediate attention. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,762 miles annually. Between the August 2024 test at 30,421 miles and the August 2025 test at 38,808 miles, the odometer advanced by 8,387 miles over a twelve-month period. This represents a slight uptick in annual usage compared to the vehicle's overall average, suggesting the previous owner relied on it for regular, moderate-distance commuting rather than leaving it standing idle. The data set is sparse but entirely clean, showing no anomalies or suspicious mileage gaps. Despite the flawless MOT history, a prospective buyer must still conduct a thorough physical inspection, paying particular attention to components that do not always trigger immediate MOT failures but degrade over time. Examine the tyre tread depths and sidewalls carefully, as electric vehicles impose higher instantaneous torque and battery weight, which can accelerate uneven wear. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or binding; regenerative braking often leaves conventional brakes underutilised, leading to surface rust that can compromise braking efficiency if left unaddressed. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and scrutinise the underbody and sills for any corrosion that might threaten structural integrity. Finally, verify the condition of the charging port and high-voltage cabling, ensuring no damage or water ingress has occurred since the last test.
