2023 KIA Niro 2 EV Electric · LD73 DNE

The Kia Niro 2 EV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 51,904 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across all four MOT entries since the vehicle was new. Mileage accumulation has been consistently high for a three-year-old electric car. The records show 17,309 miles at the 2 August 2024 test, rising to 27,791 miles by 21 February 2025, then 39,945 miles on 22 August 2025, and 51,904 miles by February 2026. This equates to roughly 17,300 miles per year with no standing periods or sparse gaps, indicating steady motorway or commuter use rather than light urban running. No advisories or faults appear in any test, so the DVSA data gives no direct signal of suspension bushes, brake disc wear, or structural corrosion requiring attention. A clean record across this mileage does suggest the previous keeper kept basic consumable upkeep current, though MOT passes alone do not confirm tyre condition or brake caliper operation between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the EV-specific components the MOT does not load-test: suspension arms and coil springs for fatigue from the high annual mileage, brake discs and calipers for binding after repeated regen use, and the high-voltage battery housing for impact or water ingress. The absence of recorded defects means no red flags, but the mileage warrants verifying real-world wear beyond the pass certificates.
