2022 KIA Niro 2 HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LD72 UFG

The 2022 Kia Niro 2 HEV S-A shows a clean roadworthiness status as of its only recorded MOT on 4 October 2025 at 26,145 miles, where the DVSA tester passed the vehicle with no defects or advisories. With just a single test on file, the maintenance trend cannot be mapped as worsening or improving, but the result establishes a stable baseline of compliance at under four years of age. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a vehicle of this age. The first mandatory test occurred on 4 October 2025 at 26,145 miles, implying an average annual distance of roughly 6,536 miles since 2022 registration. No earlier entries appear because the car was within its first three years of MOT exemption; the record is sparse but expectedly so, not indicating skipped testing. Low yearly running suggests lighter duty, though it may also point to periods of inactivity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. The tester recorded no concerns with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, yet a single clean sheet offers limited insight into hidden wear. Low mileage cars often suffer from binding calipers, flat-spotted tyres, or degraded hybrid coolant after prolonged standing. Verify the condition of braking components and underbody integrity in person. Given the hybrid drivetrain, examine the high-voltage battery cooling and 12-volt auxiliary battery health, as these are not stressed by the MOT but affect reliability. The first-test pass implies the previous owner maintained basic upkeep to secure a defect-free result, but confirm service stamps to validate care patterns.
