2022 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · YR22 EUX

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 7 January 2026 at 27,642 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a defective nearside side repeater lens. This is a cosmetic fault that does not impact the mechanical integrity or safety of the vehicle, suggesting that the primary components remain in good condition following previous tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage modern vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test at 16,557 miles and the January 2026 test at 27,642 miles, the car covered 11,085 miles. This indicates regular, active use which typically prevents the accelerated degradation of rubber components associated with long periods of standing, while remaining well below the threshold for high-mileage wear. Since the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues to date, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear and tear. A buyer should verify that the side repeater lens has been replaced and check the condition of the tyres and brake pads. Given the relatively low mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should show minimal signs of fatigue, but a visual check for any fluid leaks under the chassis remains standard practice for a vehicle of this age.
