2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RE71 AZJ

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 October 2025 at 36,791 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that any issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified, and the car currently sits in a condition that meets all statutory safety and environmental requirements without reservation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,358 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test and the October 2025 test, the car covered 7,316 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. This relatively low annual mileage suggests that wear on mechanical components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements should be minimal compared to higher-mileage examples of the same age. While the record shows a failure on 10 October 2024 at 29,475 miles, the specific mechanical reason is not detailed in the provided data. Given the subsequent re-test resulted in a clean sheet, a buyer should still verify that the component causing the initial failure was replaced properly rather than merely patched. Physical inspection should focus on the brake pads and rotors for signs of uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from surface corrosion if the car sits stationary for long periods.
