2019 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · KX19 AAK

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 5 August 2025 at 6,943 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2022, indicating a vehicle that has remained in a high state of mechanical compliance throughout its testing history. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven year old car, averaging under 1,000 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 4,038 miles and the August 2025 test at 6,943 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,905 miles over three years. Such low usage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than friction. The buyer should check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as the lack of regular use can lead to surface pitting and seized sliders. Tyre perishing and sidewall cracking are also likely given the vehicle's age and low mileage, regardless of the remaining tread depth. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes or structural corrosion is positive. However, the buyer should verify the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and the hybrid system's health, as long periods of standing can diminish battery capacity. Checking for perished wiper blades and fluid degradation will complete a thorough assessment of this low-use example.
