2022 KIA Niro 2 Phev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MK22 KUN

The Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 90,835 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examination on 17 February 2025 at 68,918 miles also passed with no advisories. The duplicate entry for 17 February 2025 showing a fail at the same mileage with no defects recorded appears to be a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault, as the accompanying pass on the same date confirms roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 90,835 against a 2022 model year equates to roughly 22,700 miles per annum, which is high for a four-year-old plug-in hybrid and points to sustained motorway or business use rather than short local commuting. Between the February 2025 test at 68,918 miles and the February 2026 test at 90,835 miles the vehicle covered 21,917 miles, a consistent annual rate. No intermediate tests exist, so the history is sparse but clean across the two verified annual entries. Given the absence of any advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, steering, or structural corrosion, the MOT record alone reveals no recurring wear trends requiring corrective action. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the high-voltage battery cooling system and the rear brake calipers, as PHEV models frequently show binding from low friction-brake usage under heavy mileage. The tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions should be visually confirmed despite no tester flags. The high annual mileage implies consumables such as dampers and drivebelt components will reach service limits sooner than a lower-use example. Previous keepers maintained the statutory test standard with no lapsed certificates, suggesting basic statutory upkeep was met if not exceeded.
