2018 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · YM18 YNJ

The 2018 Kia Niro presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 62,958 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. Annual mileage has averaged close to 7,870 miles, in line with typical use for an eight-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 12,631 miles at the February 2022 test, rising to 26,317 by February 2023, 36,781 by February 2024, 49,473 by January 2025, and 62,958 by February 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data, and every test from 2022 onwards passed with zero advisories noted. The absence of any recorded advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion points to a vehicle that previous owners maintained to at least minimum test standard. A clean five-year run with no flagged wear items suggests basic upkeep was not skipped. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items the MOT does not deeply assess, such as tyre sidewall condition, underbody corrosion in hidden sections, and brake caliper operation after standing. The hybrid drivetrain and 12V battery should also be health-checked, since the MOT cycle does not measure long-term degradation of those components.
