2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · VF02 DLF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 58,118 miles resulted in a pass but flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as reaching the legal limit with exhibiting uneven edge wear. This suggests the previous owner deferred replacing consumables until they were on the verge of inspection failure. The recorded mileage of 58,118 miles over five years reflects an average usage of approximately 11,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. Between the August 2024 test at 47,930 miles and the August 2025 test, the car covered 10,188 miles. This consistent interval suggests regular road use, which generally benefits the health of mechanical components compared to vehicles that undergo long periods of standing. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry to address the tyre edge wear noted in the 2025 record. Uneven wear often points to incorrect tracking, worn suspension bushes, or faulty control arm components. While the 2024 advisory regarding the rear washer jet appears to be a minor nuisance, the overall record shows that the owner only addresses faults when prompted by the tester. Focus should be placed on verifying the current condition of all tyres and the brake system to ensure no further mechanical issues are developing between annual inspections.
