2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · PF22 HDL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on June 3 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car passed the inspection without any mechanical or structural failures. The only noted issues were minor advisories related to both the nearside and offside front tyres, which indicated surface-level perishing rather than immediate mechanical failure. At a recorded mileage of 9,802 miles over four years, the vehicle has been used sparingly, averaging approximately 2,450 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests either short-distance urban commuting or significant periods of stationary time. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can lead to the premature degradation of rubber-based parts due to age rather than friction. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres to assess the cracking and perishing flagged in the 2025 record. Since the vehicle has covered low mileage, the rubber may be drying out and becoming brittle even if the tread depth remains sufficient. It is also essential to check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to rust buildup on the braking system when not used regularly. Checking the suspension bushes and fluid components for aging is also advisable to ensure the low mileage hasn't suffered from environmental degradation.
