2021 KIA Niro 2 EV Electric · YV21 KHA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean passing record across its documented history. The most recent test conducted on 30 July 2025 at 35,320 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced an advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn near the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the vehicle is mechanically sound for road use, it is entering a stage where consumable components require attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the 18 July 2024 test at 26,245 miles and the July 2025 test, the car covered 9,075 miles in one year. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and suspension components. The lack of recorded defects in the 2024 test further supports that the vehicle has been well-maintained during that period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and wheel geometry to determine the cause of the uneven tyre wear noted in the July 2025 advisory. The edge wear often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may require professional adjustment to prevent premature tyre replacement. Given the relatively low mileage, the structural integrity and brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, though the record shows no history of serious structural or mechanical failures to date.
