2023 KIA Niro 2 HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · SO72 ECD

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance profile. The most recent MOT test on 8 December 2025 at 28,895 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car met all regulatory standards for braking efficiency, steering, suspension, and emissions without requiring any immediate remedial work. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a three year old vehicle. Averaging roughly 9,632 miles per year suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which helps maintain battery health and prevents seals from drying out. The data set is sparse due to the vehicle's age, but the lack of failures or warnings in its first official test is a positive indicator of early-life care. A physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear. While the MOT record shows no faults, the mileage suggests the tyres and brake pads may be approaching a point of wear that does not yet trigger a failure but warrants a depth check. Check the chassis and underbody for any superficial stone chips or corrosion, as the MOT history provides no longitudinal data on structural integrity over time. Verify the service history against the 28,895 mile reading to ensure the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance intervals were met. Since the MOT was a clean pass, there are no recurring mechanical trends to flag, meaning the buyer should simply confirm that oil changes and filter replacements align with the odometer.
