2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MJ20 ASZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 June 2025 at 38,845 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, indicating the car currently meets statutory standards. While there was a failure recorded on 18 June 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in addressing identified faults promptly. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 11,076 miles, followed by another 5,306 miles in the subsequent year leading to the 2025 test. This steady progression suggests that mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components remains low compared to high-mileage vehicles. The lack of recurring advisories across three passing tests indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to significant environmental stress or neglected maintenance. Despite the clean recent record, a buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure in June 2024 to ensure the issue was rectified correctly rather than merely masked. Given the low mileage, the inspection should focus on the condition of rubber components such as suspension bushes and tyres, which can perish over six years even with low travel distance. Checking the brake discs for pitting or corrosion is also advisable as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the rotors if not driven frequently.
