2021 KIA Niro 1.6L Hybrid electric · YV21 ABF

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 1 July 2025 at 27,225 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the 3 July 2024 test, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance and a lack of emerging mechanical faults. The mileage is notably low for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,445 miles per year. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the odometer increased by 4,678 miles. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy wear and tear, though it can sometimes indicate periods of inactivity which may affect battery health or tyre flat-spotting. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the last two tests is positive. There are no recurring trends of failure or neglect in the DVSA record. The previous owners appear to have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, as no consumable wear items like tyre tread or wiper blades were flagged for attention. A physical inspection should focus on items the MOT does not comprehensively cover. Check for perished rubber seals or tyre cracking caused by low mileage and potential standing. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes occurred at the manufacturer's recommended intervals regardless of the low annual mileage, as time-based degradation is as critical as mileage-based wear.
