2017 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · HT66 ADV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the December 2025 test at 77,267 miles. This most recent result shows no recorded defects, suggesting that previous issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend indicates a period of neglect regarding consumable items, specifically tyres, which peaked in late 2024 but appears to have been resolved by the latest inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,585 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 35,089 miles in December 2019 to the current 77,267 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or evidence of long periods of inactivity, which supports the reliability of the odometer readings and suggests regular, predictable use. A buyer should focus on the tyre management history, as the records show recurring issues with tread depth and structural integrity. The December 2021 failure due to tyre separation and the multiple advisories in December 2023 and December 2024 suggest a pattern of running tyres until they reached critical wear or damage. While the December 2025 test was clear, a physical inspection of all four tyres for uneven wear, sidewall cracking, or perishing is necessary to ensure the current set is of high quality. The December 2020 advisory regarding inner edge wear on the rear tyres suggests potential alignment issues or suspension component wear. Although no specific faults were flagged for the suspension bushes or dampers, the history of uneven tyre wear warrants a close check of the wheel alignment and steering components. No structural corrosion or brake-related defects have appeared in the records, which is a positive indicator for the vehicle's overall mechanical upkeep.
