2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LE18 AAJ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its inspections. The most recent MOT on 25 October 2024 at 80,307 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for an eight year old car. Between the September 2021 test at 59,445 miles and the October 2024 test at 80,307 miles, the vehicle covered 20,862 miles over three years. This average of roughly 6,954 miles per year during this period indicates regular, moderate use rather than erratic bursts of high mileage or long periods of stagnation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, with no recorded advisories for brake disc wear, tyre tread depth, or suspension bush degradation across five tests. While the 17 October 2023 entry shows a failure followed by an immediate pass at 72,274 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the brake pads and tyre depths, as the absence of advisories does not guarantee these consumables are not nearing the end of their service life. Given the lack of structural corrosion or suspension issues flagged in the DVSA data, the primary focus should be on verifying the service history for oil changes and hybrid system health to complement the clean MOT record.
