Model-specific DVSA data not separately available; figure shown is Kia's overall brand average for context.

What to know

DVSA's dataset doesn't break the Niro out individually, so Kia's overall brand average of 75.2%, comfortably above the national average, is shown here instead.

The Niro is offered exclusively with electrified powertrains, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or fully electric, with no pure petrol or diesel option. Checking which specific version a used example is matters more here than for most models, since running costs and charging needs differ substantially between them.

Check a specific Niro's MOT history, tax status, and advisories by registration number.
