2023 KIA Niro 3 HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RE23 UPN

The Kia Niro demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass recorded on January 15, 2026, at 12,832 miles with zero defects noted. This maintenance record reflects a stable mechanical baseline and indicates that the hybrid powertrain and associated vehicle systems are currently operating without fault. With an age of roughly three years and a total mileage of 12,832 miles, the vehicle averages about 4,277 miles per year, placing it well below the national average for annual use. This low-mileage profile suggests light urban or suburban duty cycles rather than heavy fleet or motorway deployment. The MOT history is exceptionally sparse due to the vehicle's youth, containing only this single statutory test entry. A prospective buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for signs of under-use deterioration, such as surface corrosion on brake discs or flat spots on tyres resulting from extended periods of standing idle. The suspension components, anti-roll bar links, and steering joints warrant a standard visual check for premature rubber perishing, while the regenerative braking system requires a physical road test to ensure the transition between friction brakes and electrical regeneration remains smooth and free of binding.
