2021 KIA Niro Connect HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · HG71 AAK

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 6 November 2025 at 35,822 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car currently meets all statutory safety and environmental standards without immediate mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,164 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 25,537 miles and the November 2025 test at 35,822 miles, the car covered 10,285 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of the hybrid battery and braking system. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 11 November 2024 at 25,537 miles. While the specific reason for the initial failure is not detailed in the provided data, the same day resolution confirms the issue was likely a minor defect rectified quickly. The absence of any recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre wear across multiple tests suggests a high standard of preventative care. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that the MOT does not always flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the wiper blades. Given the hybrid nature of the drivetrain, verify the service history for fluid changes and filter replacements to ensure the mechanical upkeep matches the clean MOT record.
