Insight summary

KIA Niro 4 Ev is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 12,170 represented vehicles and 0.03% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 89.4% from 25,626 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 53. The current pool shows an average of 45,130 miles and an average age of 4.2 years.

The practical read is that the KIA Niro 4 Ev looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
