2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · LG70 HSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent testing history. The latest MOT performed on 8 July 2025 at 133,129 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just five miles prior on the same day. This initial failure likely represented an administrative error or a minor component that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record with no advisories across the last three annual tests. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 22,000 miles annually. Between the July 2023 test at 53,199 miles and the June 2024 test at 76,074 miles, the car covered 22,875 miles in just eleven months. The usage accelerated even further between June 2024 and July 2025, with 57,055 miles logged in a single year. This rapid accumulation indicates heavy motorway use or commercial application, which typically accelerates the wear on mechanical components compared to average private use patterns. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and bushings, as the high mileage puts significant stress on control arms and shock absorbers. The braking system should also be scrutinized for signs of thinning discs or caliper wear, given the intensity of use indicated by the figures. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion yet, the sheer distance traveled suggests that drivetrain components and fluids may be nearing the end of their primary service intervals regardless of the vehicle's chronological age.
