2020 KIA Niro 4 EV Electric · ML20 AEW

The Kia Niro 4 EV holds a clean roadworthiness status following the most recent DVSA test on 10 October 2025 at 52,560 miles, where the examiner passed the vehicle with no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable, showing three successive passes since first examination. Previous keepers evidently kept the car to a standard that avoided both minor consumable faults and serious mechanical flags. Mileage pattern relative to the 2020 build year appears initially light then moderately increased. At the 31 May 2023 test the odometer recorded 21,693 miles, implying roughly 7,200 miles annually over the first three years. The 31 May 2024 test showed 36,918 miles, a twelve-month gain of 15,225. By 10 October 2025 the reading reached 52,560 miles, adding 15,642 across sixteen months. This later rate sits near typical expectation for a six-year-old car. The history is sparse with only three entries, yet each is unblemished. No recurring problems surface in the ledger, so the buyer finds no legacy warnings on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, exhaust emissions or structural integrity. The tester flagged zero advisories on tyres, wiper blades or underbody condition. Such a fault-free trail suggests diligent routine upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Despite the spotless MOT sequence, a physical inspection remains sensible before purchase. The buyer should examine suspension arms for worn bushes and dampers, inspect brake discs and calipers for rust or binding given regenerative braking limits mechanical wear, and check the chassis for structural corrosion. Confirm tyre tread depth and sidewall health, and assess battery enclosure for impact damage. The October 2025 pass confirms compliance nine months ago, but standing time since then warrants a fresh visual audit.
