2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · RF70 FBE

The vehicle secured a pass certificate on 14 October 2025 at 28,936 miles, confirming its fundamental roadworthiness. The maintenance record remains broadly stable, though the latest inspection introduced the first recorded defects. The tester flagged slight damage and perishing on both the nearside and offside rear tyres, a shift from the clean results logged in October 2024 and October 2023. These advisories suggest age-related rubber degradation rather than excessive tread wear. Mileage accumulation has fluctuated significantly over the vehicle's life. The record indicates very light use between October 2023 and October 2024, with the odometer advancing by only 4,545 miles to reach 14,333 miles. Conversely, the most recent year of service saw a sharp increase of 14,603 miles. This jump suggests a substantial change in driving intensity or vehicle purpose during the last 12 months. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical check of the tyres and other rubber components. The specific advisories for cracking and perishing imply the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods, which can affect hoses and belts despite the recent mileage spike. While the MOT history shows no evidence of suspension, braking, or structural corrosion issues, the recent high mileage warrants a review of service stamps to ensure the increased mechanical load has been managed appropriately.
