2023 KIA Niro 4 Phev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · JB19 PMB

The Kia Niro 4 PHEV S-A presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 10 February 2026 at 17,447 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. A single clean result on a three-year-old vehicle indicates no worsening or recurring fault pattern within the official record. The odometer shows 17,447 miles against a 2023 build, equating to roughly 5,816 miles per year. This low annual accumulation suggests light use or extended standing periods rather than high-speed motorway wear. The MOT history contains only the February 2026 entry, so no rapid mileage jumps or test gaps appear. Sparse data limits trend analysis, but the lone pass carries no advisories on suspension, brakes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage with possible long standing invites perished rubber components: check suspension bushes, droplink gaiters, and tyre sidewall cracking. The PHEV drivetrain demands scrutiny of brake disc condition, as infrequent use promotes surface rust and caliper binding. Verify the 12-volt and high-voltage battery health, given the car may have sat unused for weeks at a time. Confirm underbody structural integrity for any early corrosion where dirt traps form. The clean MOT offers reassurance, yet physical examination remains essential on a lightly used hybrid.
