2019 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LF69 YEC

The 2019 Kia Niro presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 November 2025 at 162,473 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 17 May 2025 at 144,724 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 17 May 2025 at 144,723 miles, one mile before the same-day pass, with no defects recorded. This suggests an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 162,473 over roughly seven years, averaging 23,210 miles per year, which is high for a vehicle of this age. The records show steady accumulation: 104,421 miles on 22 May 2024, 121,463 on 19 November 2024, 144,724 on 17 May 2025, and 162,473 on 15 November 2025. The six-month gap between May and November 2025 covered about 17,700 miles, confirming heavy use. The MOT data is sparse on faults, with no advisories or defects listed across any test, so the history alone gives little indication of neglected consumables or hidden wear. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person given the annual mileage exceeds 20,000. High mileage hybrids like this Niro wear steering components and dampers faster than average. The clean record provides no flagged corrosion or structural concerns, but underside inspection for rust and check of the exhaust emissions system remains sensible. The repeated clean passes imply the previous owner kept the car to test standard, yet the failed-then-passed entry on 17 May 2025 warrants confirmation the V5C and DVSA portal show no outstanding issues. Given the high mileage, verify the hybrid battery health and transmission condition beyond the MOT scope before purchase.
