2021 KIA Niro Connect HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LD71 UJW

This 2021 Kia Niro Connect HEV demonstrates a clean and stable roadworthiness record, passing its most recent Ministry of Transport examination on October 8, 2025, at 41,739 miles with zero defects or advisories noted by the examiner. The maintenance trend is exemplary, showing a complete absence of failures or recurring mechanical faults across its early testing history. The vehicle accumulates mileage at an entirely predictable rate for a modern hybrid crossover, averaging roughly 8,300 miles annually. The mileage progression shows steady utilization, recording 26,453 miles at the October 4, 2024 test and advancing to 41,739 miles by the October 2025 inspection, which indicates the car has neither suffered prolonged periods of static storage nor endured heavy commercial abuse. The span of nine months since the last test leaves the vehicle well within its current twelve-month certificate validity. Given the spotless test history and lack of recorded component wear, physical inspection should focus on standard consumable items inherent to urban hybrid operation. Buyers must verify the condition of the regenerative braking system, brake discs, and pads, as low-mileage hybrid vehicles can occasionally exhibit surface corrosion on brake components due to infrequent heavy braking. A thorough check of the underbody shields and hybrid drivetrain cooling components during a ramp inspection will confirm that the protective covers noted in the previous test have prevented debris accumulation or chassis scrapes.
