2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · LS21 OKB

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 June 2026 at 16,664 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the results of the previous two years. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has avoided mechanical or structural failures throughout its operational period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,333 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 9,061 miles and the April 2025 test at 12,288 miles, the car covered 3,227 miles, while the most recent interval saw 4,376 miles covered in just over 13 months. This low usage suggests minimal wear on high-stress drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or seized brake calipers due to lack of regular use. Since the MOT record shows no advisories or recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mile conditions. A buyer should check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion caused by the vehicle sitting for extended periods and verify that rubber elements like suspension bushes and bushings are not cracking. Given the age relative to the mileage, inspecting the condition of fluids and the battery is essential as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
