2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · SR21 WNB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that has improved following a specific failure. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 42,272 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a cut on the nearside rear tyre. This indicates that the owner addressed the critical defects identified in the previous year, moving the vehicle from a state of non-compliance to a clean pass with minimal consumable concerns. The mileage profile of 42,272 miles over five years represents an average of approximately 8,454 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-urban usage patterns. There is a significant gap in records between February 2024 at 20,437 miles and August 2025 at 42,272 miles, covering nearly 22,000 miles in just sixteen months. This sudden burst of activity explains the accelerated wear seen on the tyres that led to the failure in September 2024. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the tyre condition, given the recorded August 2024 failure due to exposed cords on the nearside rear and perishing on the offside rear. While the 2025 test noted the cut did not yet reach the ply, the history suggests the tyres should be monitored for further impact damage. Because there are no recorded issues with structural corrosion, suspension components, or brake systems, the mechanical integrity of the Niro appears to be well-maintained for its age.
