2022 KIA Niro 4 + EV Electric · GY71 NTX

The most recent MOT test on 2025-12-18 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 33,804 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last two tests—both in January 2025 and December 2025—suggests a stable maintenance history, though the duplicate entry at 27,068 miles in January 2025 is anomalous and warrants clarification. No recurring issues have been logged, indicating the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural problems during its first four years of service. The mileage progression shows a consistent average of approximately 8,451 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the duplicate MOT entry at 27,068 miles in January 2025 is unusual and may imply administrative error rather than mechanical irregularity. The most recent test was conducted just seven months ago, which is well within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, ensuring the vehicle’s compliance with current UK roadworthiness standards. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components not routinely captured by MOT testing. Particular attention should be given to the suspension system—coil springs, bushes, and dampers—given the vehicle’s age and mileage, as these are prone to gradual degradation. The brake system, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and pad condition, should also be checked, as MOT tests only verify minimum tread depth and general functionality. Additionally, a visual inspection for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and underbody is essential, especially for a hybrid/electric model where fluid leaks or battery-related issues might not always be immediately obvious. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
