2020 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · SB20 CGV

The vehicle has covered 37,138 miles, averaging approximately 6,190 miles per year. This mileage is typical for a six-year-old car and suggests the vehicle has seen regular, moderate use rather than being heavily driven or left sitting for long periods. The most recent MOT from February 2026 shows a clear pattern of tyre-related issues. While the vehicle had no recorded defects in 2024 and 2025, the latest inspection flagged three separate problems: an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge, a leaking nail in the nearside rear tyre, and a damaged repair on the nearside front tyre. The maintenance trend regarding tyres appears to be worsening. The vehicle progressed from a clean history to a failure in early 2025 due to a tyre cut, followed by multiple tyre-related defects and advisories in the most recent test. This suggests that tyre integrity and proactive replacement have become recurring concerns. When inspecting the car in person, you should prioritize a thorough check of all four tyres. Look specifically for uneven tread wear, which can indicate alignment issues, and closely examine the sidewalls for any signs of cuts, bulges, or poorly executed repairs.
