2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · FV22 OBE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent test on 28 June 2025. However, the record indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car passed the mechanical and safety checks, the presence of an active TPMS warning and multiple tyre defects suggests that the previous owner neglected basic equipment checks and consumable upkeep until they were flagged by the MOT tester. At 37,147 miles during the June 2025 test, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,287 miles per year. This usage profile aligns with typical national averages for a four-year-old vehicle, suggesting the drivetrain and suspension have not been subjected to high-stress mileage. The data remains relatively sparse due to the vehicle's young age, but the consistent mileage accumulation indicates a regular use pattern rather than long periods of stationary-related degradation of rubber components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and wheel alignment. The tester flagged the nearside front tyre as worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, which often points to incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. The reported TPMS light requires a diagnostic check to determine if the issue is a faulty sensor or a slow leak. Given the nail in the offside rear tyre, the remaining life of all tyres should be evaluated for uneven wear or internal damage that the MOT record might not fully capture.
