2021 KIA Niro 3 EV Electric · LB71 CXW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the recent history indicates a trend of deferred maintenance regarding consumables. While the car passed its latest MOT in November 2025 at 41,873 miles, it had failed the test just two days prior. This failure was triggered by critical tyre conditions, including exposed cords on the offside front and insufficient tread depth elsewhere, suggesting the previous owner waited until the legal deadline to address urgent wear rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,375 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 31,008 miles and the November 2025 test at 41,873 miles, the car covered 10,865 miles. This usage level is typical, yet the sudden transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple failures in 2025 shows that components are reaching the end of life simultaneously. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system. The November 2025 record flagged both rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, alongside thin pads. Although these were rectified for the pass, the recurring nature of disc corrosion suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or face harsh environments. You should also verify the current condition of all four tyres to ensure the replacements made after the failure were of adequate quality, as the previous failure highlighted a significant lapse in basic safety monitoring.
