2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · PK71 ADO

The 2021 KIA Niro remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-09-10 at 32,300 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with the prior 2024-09-27 test at 23,592 miles also showing no issues. No recurring faults or escalating concerns are evident in the two consecutive clean MOTs, indicating consistent upkeep by previous owners. The vehicle’s mileage of 32,300 miles after five years aligns with an average annual usage of 6,460 miles. However, the jump from 23,592 miles in September 2024 to 32,300 miles by September 2025 suggests a significant increase in annual mileage, potentially accelerating wear on consumables like tyres and brake components. This pattern warrants scrutiny of brake disc thickness, suspension bushings, and exhaust system integrity, as higher usage can exacerbate these elements. A physical inspection should prioritise the rear brake assembly for signs of uneven wear or binding calipers, given the increased mileage. Additionally, check for corrosion around the underbody and wheel arches, which could indicate exposure to harsh environments. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, the vehicle’s age and mileage mean buyers should verify service records for timely maintenance of the electric drivetrain and battery health, as these are critical to long-term reliability.
