2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RE68 UTA

The 2018 KIA NIRO demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects in its last four consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-12-17 assessment at 61,959 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance without advisories or failures since 2022, indicating consistent maintenance. The 2022-12-13 test recorded a failure, but no defects were noted, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor issue resolved before subsequent passes. Overall, the trend shows no emerging mechanical risks. The mileage of 61,959 miles over eight years aligns with average annual usage of 7,745 miles, reflecting typical wear patterns. MOT tests are spaced annually, with no gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2023-12-13 test at 51,448 miles and 2024-12-03 test at 56,262 miles show steady progression, reinforcing the absence of irregularities. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven and maintained within normal parameters, with no evidence of excessive strain on components. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without MOT reporting. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear, as these are common in older vehicles. While no structural corrosion or exhaust issues were flagged, a thorough assessment of underbody integrity and fluid leaks is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
