2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GY71 DYU

The 2025‑09‑19 MOT at 36,073 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record is stable, as the earlier September 2024 test at 26,942 miles also showed no recorded faults. The mileage has risen from 26,942 miles in the September 2024 test to 36,073 miles a year later, an increase of 9,131 miles, which exceeds the typical 7,215 miles per year for a five‑year‑old Kia Niro and suggests more intensive use than the average, though the record itself is clean and recent. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding and that the brake discs show no scoring, and inspect the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, as these components are prone to deterioration on vehicles of this age. The absence of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of hidden wear, so a physical inspection of the steering linkage, tyre tread depth, and the condition of the exhaust system is essential before purchase.
