2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MK20 AMV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT record, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 56,794 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation has increased significantly in the last two years. The car covered only 13,046 miles between January 2023 and December 2024, but then added 16,854 miles in the following year leading up to the December 2025 test. This shift toward higher annual usage is still within typical parameters for a six-year-old vehicle, and the absence of any flagged faults during this period of increased use suggests the drivetrain and chassis are coping well with the load. There are no recurring faults, structural corrosion, or suspension issues documented in the DVSA history. The lack of advisories regarding brake discs, pads, or tyre tread across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner, who likely replaced consumables before they reached the limit of legality. A physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of the tyres and brake pads, as these are the most likely components to require attention given the recent increase in mileage. Check for any signs of oil leaks or suspension bush wear that may not have been severe enough to trigger an MOT failure but would be evident upon a manual check. The documented history provides a high level of confidence in the vehicle's structural integrity.
