2020 KIA Niro 4 + EV Electricity · LC70 VNO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding tyre management. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 59,272 miles passed, it revealed advisories for three tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This mirrors a pattern from the November 2023 test at 23,432 miles, where both front tyres were flagged for being at or near the legal limit. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 18,114 miles between the late 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by another 17,726 miles in the year leading up to the December 2025 inspection. This steady usage suggests regular road miles, which explains the wear on consumables, but the recurring tyre issues indicate that the owner likely deferred maintenance between MOT intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the wheel alignment and suspension components, as the persistent edge wear on the tyres across multiple years suggests a potential ongoing issue with misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The presence of an under tray noted in the 2024 test is a positive indicator for undercarriage protection, but a physical inspection should still check for any minor impact damage or corrosion to the mounting points. Given the recent state of the tyres, a full set of new rubber is likely required immediately to ensure safety and optimal performance.
