2021 KIA Niro 4 + EV Electric · LS71 UCB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 6 January 2026 at 148,796 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally high for a five year old vehicle, averaging nearly 30,000 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between 17 October 2023 and 12 April 2024, where the odometer climbed from 99,787 to 125,265 miles in less than six months. Since then, the rate of accumulation has slowed, with only 1,198 miles added between 16 July 2025 and 6 January 2026. This high-intensity usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and interior trim. Despite the clean MOT record, the extreme mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear items. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade under heavy motorway use. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness, and the tyres inspected for uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues. The absence of any advisories over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle with this mileage. You should verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and filter replacements occurred at appropriate intervals. While the DVSA record shows no structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, the high mileage suggests that a professional check of the battery health and electric drivetrain efficiency is prudent.
