2016 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · V95 GNP

The 2016 Kia Niro stands roadworthy as of its latest MOT on 1 April 2026 at 102,718 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no worsening mechanical issues across the available three-year history. On that same date, an earlier attempt at 102,714 miles failed yet listed no defects, mirroring a 10 April 2025 failure at 87,995 miles that also carried no fault entries before a same-day pass. Such paired outcomes point to procedural rejections rather than deteriorating condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a decade-old vehicle. The record opens at 74,179 miles on 18 April 2024, rises to 87,995 miles by 10 April 2025, and reaches 102,718 miles on 1 April 2026. That equates to roughly 14,000 miles per year, marginally above the 10,272 annual average but well within normal bounds. No standing gaps or abrupt accumulation appear; the sparse three-entry history simply lacks earlier years, leaving long-term care patterns partly unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core wear components given the 102,718-mile tally. The clean MOT sheets omit advisories, yet suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs at this age often incur silent degradation. Examine subframe and sills for corrosion, check calipers for binding, and measure exhaust emissions against manufacturer baseline. The twin no-defect failures warrant a DVSA portal check to confirm they were administrative, not concealed faults. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles suggest previous owners addressed test anomalies promptly, implying basic upkeep was maintained despite minimal documentation. Absence of advisories does not negate the need for independent verification of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, nor a check of structural integrity at chassis mounting points.
