2021 KIA Niro Connect HEV S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · WD71 CGF

The vehicle presents a stable and unblemished mechanical history, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its recorded lifespan. The most recent MOT test on 8 October 2025 at 17,136 miles passed without a single defect or advisory, mirroring the clean pass recorded on 17 September 2024 at 13,607 miles. This pattern indicates an entirely absent trend of mechanical faults, suggesting the hybrid drivetrain and core mechanical components remain in sound operational condition. The recorded mileage of 17,136 miles over roughly five years equates to an annual average of approximately 3,427 miles, a notably low figure for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the odometer advanced by only 3,529 miles over a twelve-month period, confirming sustained light usage rather than prolonged standing or rapid accumulation. Such low annual mileage typically reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and tyres, though it demands scrutiny of components that degrade through age and lack of use rather than distance. Despite the flawless MOT record, the exceptionally low mileage warrants a physical inspection of specific areas prone to deterioration during infrequent use. A buyer should examine the condition of the 12-volt auxiliary battery and the hybrid battery cooling system, as hybrid vehicles can suffer from cell imbalance when left dormant for extended periods. Tyre sidewall cracking requires checking, since the rubber ages regardless of tread depth, and the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion that develops when pads sit stationary. Suspension bushes and exhaust components also merit a close look for perishing or early corrosion, conditions that low-mileage vehicles often exhibit despite passing standard roadworthiness checks.
