2022 KIA Niro 2 EV Electric · YP22 ACJ

The Kia Niro EV presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 22 January 2026 at 28,801 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged across the available history. A failed entry on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects recorded points to an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, later cleared by the same-day pass. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a four-year-old vehicle. The record shows 17,282 miles at the 30 January 2025 test, rising to 28,801 miles by 22 January 2026. That equates to roughly 11,500 miles in the intervening year, above the long-term average of 7,200 annually but not excessive for an EV of this type. The history is sparse, with only two test years captured, so long periods of standing cannot be ruled out between the 2025 and 2026 entries. Given the absence of flagged defects, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test. Check brake disc condition and caliper operation, as EV regenerative braking can leave static corrosion on lightly used rotors. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from low-mileage storage. Verify the high-voltage battery state of health and charging history, since MOT records do not assess traction battery degradation. Confirm the 22 January 2026 failure was purely clerical with the DVSA certificate. The vehicle shows no structural corrosion or mechanical risk in the official data, but physical verification remains prudent on any used EV.
