Our Verdict
Recommended. This 2019 Kia Niro Hybrid i
The primary focus for a buyer should be the tyres. The MOT history reveals a consistent theme of tyre issues, including a 2023 failure for exposed ply/cords, a 2024 advisory for perishing rear tyres, and a 2026 advisory for inner edge wear on the offside front. You should negotiate on the cost of a fresh set of tyres if they are not already replaced.
Given the very low annual mileage, check the service records to ensure the vehicle has been serviced according to time intervals rather than just mileage. Ensure the hybrid battery has been maintained and that there are no gaps in the ownership history that could explain the low usage.
As a hybrid electric vehicle, this Niro is designed for efficiency and falls into a favorable tax band. Insurance costs are typically moderate for this model, and the Euro 6 status ensures compatibility with most UK low-emission zones.
Maintenance costs are generally centered on consumables. However, based on the model's aggregate data, you should budget for regular replacements of tyres, windscreen wipers, and brake pads. The estimated annual running cost covers fuel, VED, insurance, and basic servicing.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for tread depth and signs of perishing or cracking, as this vehicle has a history of both wear and age-related rubber degradation. Specifically, check the inner edge of the offside front tyre as flagged in the August 2026 MOT.
In line with wider model data, check the condition of the windscreen wipers and the thickness of the brake pads. Ensure there are no unusual noises from the hybrid powertrain during start-stop transitions, although no such issues are noted in this specific vehicle's MOT record.
With only 27,750 miles recorded as of August 2026, this blue Niro has been driven significantly less than the model average. The MOT history is relatively clean, with the only failure occurring in 2023 due to tyre wear. It presents as a low-use Euro 6 hybrid with no recorded structural or major mechanical defects.
The Kia Niro maintains a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 89.3%, with failures predominantly linked to wear-and-tear items.
