2021 KIA Niro 3 EV Electric · LC71 URX

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT test on 8 April 2026 at 98,361 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to the earliest recorded test in November 2022. The absence of any flagged issues regarding braking systems, lighting, or structural integrity across several years suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The mileage accumulation is significant and indicates heavy usage for a five-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 98,361 miles, averaging approximately 19,672 miles per year. The records show a rapid and steady increase in distance traveled, such as the 10,103-mile jump between the October 2024 test at 76,023 miles and the April 2024 test at 65,926 miles. This high-frequency usage pattern is consistent with long-distance commuting or commercial use. While the lack of defects is positive, the high mileage suggests that mechanical components will have faced more significant wear than a typical domestic vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-frequency wear. Given the nearly 100,000 miles covered, the suspension system, including bushes, dampers, and coil springs, warrants close scrutiny for signs of fatigue or premature failure. Although the MOT history shows no recorded issues, the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear on brake discs and pads, as well as potential degradation of tyre tread and sidewall integrity. Checking the condition of the drivetrain and any rubber seals or cooling components is also advisable to ensure the high mileage has not led to subtle leaks or premature aging of perishable parts.
