2020 KIA Niro 2 Phev S-A 1.6L Hybrid electric · WM70 AAZ

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent November 2025 MOT at 88,784 miles. All prior tests, including the May 2025 (72,359 miles), November 2024 (51,829 miles), and May 2024 (33,207 miles) assessments, also passed without issues. This consistent record suggests effective maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. However, the absence of advisories or failures does not preclude wear from its high annual mileage of approximately 14,797 miles, which may accelerate component degradation beyond typical usage patterns. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 33,157 to 33,207 miles between April and May 2024, followed by a steady rise to 51,829 miles by November 2024, 72,359 miles by May 2025, and 88,784 miles by November 2025. This rapid accumulation, exceeding 14,000 miles annually, implies frequent use that could strain consumables like brake pads, tyres, and suspension components. While no defects were flagged, the lack of detailed advisories in the records limits insight into potential minor issues, such as minor corrosion or wear on non-critical parts, which may require closer inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and inspect brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and emissions compliance should also be verified, as prolonged use can affect these components. Although the MOT history shows no structural rust or major faults, the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of critical systems and identify any hidden wear not captured in the recorded tests.
