2021 KIA Niro 2 Phev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LB71 AEP

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean mechanical record. The most recent MOT on 12 December 2025 at 47,294 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the car failed a test ten days prior on 2 December 2025 at 47,112 miles, the lack of listed defects in the record suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a significant mechanical failure. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 9,459 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between the December 2024 test at 35,689 miles and the December 2025 test at 47,294 miles, representing an annual increase of 11,605 miles. This acceleration in mileage is typical for a daily driver and does not indicate abnormal wear patterns. The absence of advisories across the last three tests is uncommon for a five year old vehicle and suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. There are no flags for structural corrosion or integrity concerns, which is positive for a vehicle of this vintage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common PHEV wear items that MOT tests often overlook. Check the condition of the 12V auxiliary battery and inspect the tyre treads for uneven wear, as the MOT record provides no clues regarding consumable life. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes align with the mileage increases observed between 2024 and 2025.
