2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · PX71 UEB

The 2021 Kia Niro demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT test on 2026-01-20 passing without defects at 39,035 miles. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 28,151 miles, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the past 18 months. A single failure occurred on 2025-01-16 at 28,150 miles due to misaligned offside windscreen washer jets, which were rectified before the subsequent pass. No structural, braking, or suspension issues have been recorded, suggesting no significant deterioration in critical systems. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles annually. The recorded mileage increased by 10,884 miles between January 2025 and January 2026, reflecting slightly above-average usage but remaining within expected parameters for a five-year-old model. The gap between the August 2024 and January 2025 tests shows minimal mileage growth (894 miles over five months), indicating the vehicle was likely used sparingly during that period. The MOT record is sparse but clean, with no evidence of recurring faults or neglect. Prospective buyers should verify the windscreen washer system functions correctly, as misalignment was previously flagged. Given the higher recent mileage, attention should be paid to brake disc thickness, tyre tread depth, and suspension bush wear during a pre-purchase inspection. The absence of advisories related to corrosion, exhaust emissions, or steering components suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained structurally. While the MOT history is reassuring, a thorough mechanical inspection by a qualified technician is recommended to confirm the car’s readiness for continued use.
