2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · WD21 RUR

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass on 18 June 2025 at 24,581 miles. This recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year's performance. While the 2024 test revealed several defects, the lack of failures or advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed the identified mechanical and consumable issues prior to the last test cycle. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,916 miles per annum. Between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the car covered 4,972 miles, showing a consistent and low-distance usage pattern. While low mileage generally implies less wear on drivetrain and suspension components, the infrequent use can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components or corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods without regular operation. An in-person inspection should focus on the front axle, as the 2024 failure highlighted uneven edge wear and perishing on both the offside and nearside front tyres. Although these were likely replaced, a buyer should verify that the alignment is correct to prevent the rapid wear seen previously. The buyer should also check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the stop lamp assembly, as these were specific points of failure in June 2024. The damage to the offside rear bumper corner noted in 2024 should be examined for hidden mounting bracket damage or structural stress to the underlying bodywork.
