2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · KY18 AOO

The 2018 Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 14 March 2026 at 53,311 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from March 2022 through March 2026 resulted in a clean certificate. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical issues or recurring advisories across its eight-year life. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical light use for the age. The odometer read 21,479 miles at the 5 March 2022 test, then jumped to 37,313 miles by 21 March 2023, indicating roughly 15,800 miles covered in that twelve-month span. Subsequent years show markedly lower totals: 46,262 miles in March 2024, 47,990 miles in March 2025, and 53,311 miles in March 2026. The record remains sparse but entirely clean, with no gaps exceeding one year and no failed tests. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity concerns at any interval. Such an unbroken pass history suggests previous owners addressed consumable wear before each test and likely stored the car responsibly during low-mileage periods. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of those same components, as an MOT snapshot cannot reveal incipient wear hidden between tests. Given the absence of advisories, focus physical checks on tyre condition, wiper blades, and underbody for surface rust despite the clean record. The Niro's drivetrain and chassis appear sound per documented data, but verifying actual mileage against service books remains prudent.
