2023 KIA Niro 2 EV Electric · LT73 UME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend following previous minor defects. The most recent inspection conducted on April 4 2025 at 29,895 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the prior year were addressed, and the vehicle currently meets all UK roadworthiness safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a three-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 21,834 miles and the April 2025 test at 29,895 miles, the car covered over 8,000 miles. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the health of rubber components and preventing brake disc corrosion in an electric vehicle. The September 2024 record highlights a lapse in attention to detail regarding basic consumable maintenance, as the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and identified nails in both the nearside rear and offside rear tyres. While the 2025 pass suggests these were rectified, a buyer should verify the current tread depth across all four tyres and check for uneven wear that might indicate alignment issues. Given the history of tyre damage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the current tyre set and the state of the suspension to ensure no previous impact-related damage caused long-term wear. As the record shows no history of structural corrosion, suspension failures, or brake binding, the primary mechanical components of the Niro are likely consistent with its age and mileage.
