Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for an electric vehicle buyer, particularly given its relatively low mileage for its age. The clean MOT history suggests no immediate structural or safety concerns recorded during its recent inspections.

When inspecting this specific Niro, focus on the electric drivetrain and battery health, as these are the most critical components of the vehicle. While the MOT history is clean, an MOT only tests safety and environmental standards, not the long-term health of the high-voltage battery or the software systems.

Request documentation regarding any battery health checks or service records that may exist outside of the MOT testing regime. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of tyre flat-spotting or age-related degradation, as tyres can perish even if they have plenty of tread remaining.

As an electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance groups. This model typically benefits from lower maintenance costs compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, as there are no oil changes, spark plugs, or timing belts to replace.

Expect typical running costs to include electricity for charging, road tax (which may be subject to changes in UK EV legislation), and insurance. Annual maintenance will likely focus on consumables such as tyres, brake fluid, and cabin filters.

Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the tyres and braking system. While this specific vehicle has had no MOT failures, the model's top failure reasons include tyre condition and brake efficiency/effort.

Inspect the tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues. Additionally, test the brake pedal feel to ensure there is no sponginess, and listen for any unusual noises during low-speed manoeuvres.

Registered in July 2020, this grey KIA Niro 4 EV has covered 27,644 miles as of its last MOT in December 2025. This is significantly lower than the model average of 9,504 miles per year, which would suggest a total of roughly 47,520 miles for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows three consecutive passes with no recorded defects, providing a consistent record of compliance.

The KIA Niro model shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.0% across 12,501 analysed vehicles.
