2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LC68 AUE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the December 6, 2025 MOT at 222,159 miles with no defects recorded. All five tests since November 2024 have resulted in passes, indicating a stable maintenance record with no evidence of recurring failures or worsening conditions. The mileage trajectory shows accelerated use for a 2018 model, which is eight years old. After a clean pass at 181,136 miles on November 26, 2024, the odometer rose to 197,825 miles by May 23, 2025, then to 199,533 miles on June 8, 2025, and reached 222,155 miles on December 5, 2025, before the final pass. This rapid accumulation of roughly 41,000 miles in 13 months suggests intensive usage and increased wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore scrutinise the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, examine the rear and front brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the sill and subframe areas. The exhaust system should also be inspected for corrosion and ensure emissions remain within limits, while tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition merit verification given the high annual mileage. Overall, the absence of recorded defects supports confidence in the vehicle’s current condition, but the elevated mileage relative to age warrants a thorough in‑person inspection to confirm that wear patterns have been managed and that no latent structural or braking faults exist.
