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

This vehicle maintains a stable and exemplary roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT test on 6 February 2026 at 31,174 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of mechanical repair. The mileage is notably low for a seven year old car, averaging roughly 4,453 miles per year. There was a significant jump in usage between June 2023 at 16,455 miles and May 2024 at 20,996 miles, where the car covered over 4,500 miles in less than a year. Since then, the accumulation has slowed significantly, with only 350 miles added between July 2025 and February 2026. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across several years of testing is rare and suggests a level of care above average. The single failure on 23 May 2024 was resolved on the same day, and the lack of detailed defect data for that failure suggests it was a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a structural or mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to low usage and standing. Check for tyre perishing or flat spots and verify the condition of the brake calipers to ensure they have not seized from inactivity. While the MOT record is clean, checking the service history for oil changes is essential, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from oil degradation if intervals are ignored.
