2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · RV68 AEF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 18 July 2025 at 39,092 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without mechanical faults over several years. The mileage is notably low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,886 miles per year. The distance covered between the July 2023 test at 25,576 miles and the July 2025 test at 39,092 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,700 miles per annum. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest commercial use or prolonged periods of standing. The MOT record is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across multiple years. While the vehicle failed on 20 July 2023 and 19 July 2024, these failures occurred only one or two miles before the passing tests on the same day, which often indicates minor administrative errors or immediate rectification of trivial items. No recurring mechanical issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion appear in the data. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished tyre rubber or seized brake calipers due to inactivity. Check the date codes on the tyres and ensure the brake pedals feel firm and responsive. Given the lack of reported faults, the primary concern is confirming that the low mileage has not led to fluid degradation or battery health issues.
