2022 KIA Niro 2 EV Electric · LB22 PHV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 3, 2026, 122,812 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but indicates a pattern of reactive cosmetic and minor repairs rather than proactive mechanical overhaul. While the car passed the latest test, the recurring presence of a damaged windscreen across the last two inspections suggests that the previous owner only addressed non-critical defects once they reached an advisory stage. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 30,000 miles annually. Between the December 2024 test at 56,326 miles and the December 2025 test at 95,162 miles, the car covered nearly 39,000 miles in twelve months. This rapid accumulation suggests consistent long-distance use, likely motorway driving, which places accelerated stress on suspension components, bushings, and the electric-drive braking system compared to average-use vehicles of this age. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the condition of the front windscreen, which was flagged as damaged in both December 2025 and June 2026. The advisory from December 2025 regarding perishing or cracking on both front tyres indicates that the rubber components may be reaching the end of their structural life regardless of remaining tread depth. Given the high mileage, the inspector should also check for uneven tyre wear and signs of play in the control arm bushings, as these components frequently show fatigue on vehicles exceeding the 100,000-mile mark.
