2022 KIA Niro 2 HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GF72 ADX

The Kia Niro presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 53,561 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no worsening pattern. Prior to that pass, the vehicle failed the test on 8 October 2025 at 53,549 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects recorded against the failure, which typically points to a non-mechanical administrative or documentation issue rather than a structural or mechanical fault. At roughly four years old the car carries 53,561 miles, equating to about 13,390 miles per year, which is high for its age and suggests frequent use rather than long standing periods. The recorded history is sparse, with only the two October 2025 tests logged and a mere 12 miles covered between the failure and the pass. No earlier MOT entries exist in the supplied data, so we cannot chart consumable wear or corrosion progression across the vehicle's first three years. Given the clean pass and absence of advisories on mechanical components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the hybrid drivetrain and braking system. The unexplained failure with no defects logged warrants verification of the vehicle's documentation and identity against DVSA records. Previous ownership appears to have maintained the car to a passable standard, though the high annual mileage implies accelerated wear on tyres, wiper blades, and cabin filters not visible in the MOT data. Physical checks of underbody corrosion and coil spring condition remain prudent given the limited test history.
