2017 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · MT17 LWA

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 July 2025 at 64,500 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has avoided the common degradation typically seen in cars of this vintage. The mileage accumulation is consistent and aligns with typical usage for a nine year old vehicle. Between the first recorded test on 24 July 2021 at 33,058 miles and the most recent test in July 2025, the car covered 31,442 miles. The annual increase has remained steady, with the highest jump occurring between July 2024 and July 2025, where the odometer rose by 11,497 miles. This suggests the car has been in regular use rather than sitting idle, which generally benefits the health of the hybrid battery and braking system. Because the MOT history is devoid of any flagged faults, there are no recurring mechanical trends to warn against. The absence of advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or tyre tread depth over a five year period is rare and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. A physical inspection should still focus on standard wear items that MOT testers may overlook if they are within legal limits. Check the condition of the cabin filters and engine oil for signs of degradation. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing and check the brake pedal feel to ensure the hydraulic system remains responsive. Given the clean record, the primary objective is to verify that the physical condition of the bodywork and interior matches the technical excellence shown in the DVSA data.
