2022 KIA EV6 AIR Electric · AP71 DZK

The overall roadworthiness status for the 2022 Kia EV6 Air is a pass, though the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening wear and condition, suggesting the vehicle may not be in optimal mechanical condition for current usage. The most recent MOT test on 2026-06-08 was conducted at 97,374 miles, which is a very high mileage figure for a 2022 model, placing the vehicle in a category that requires significant attention to prevent catastrophic failure. This high mileage implies that the car has experienced substantial wear over the past four years, with the tester noting that tyre wear is close to the legal limit, highlighting a critical need for inspection of tyre condition and tread depth. The mileage pattern suggests rapid accumulation of wear, particularly concerning the suspension and drivetrain components, which are often the most prone to failure in older vehicles. The test dates show a significant gap between the 2026-06-08 test and the 2025-01-09 test, with the 2025-07-15 test occurring only 19 days later, indicating a very short interval of testing between the two assessments. This short gap suggests that the vehicle was likely driven for only a few days between the two tests, which would explain the rapid mileage increase and the fact that the 2025-01-09 test occurred at a lower mileage of 66,479 miles compared to the 97,374 miles recorded on 2026-06-08. The lack of a 2024-01-09 test date leaves a gap in the history, but the rapid mileage rise from 66,479 to 97,374 in the short timeframe between 2025-01-09 and 2025-07-15 is a strong indicator of accelerating wear. Given the recurring faults and the high mileage, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and mechanical health. The most critical areas to examine are the suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to failure if not regularly inspected, as well as the brake discs and calipers, which can become seized or worn prematurely if not maintained. Structural issues such as corrosion on the exhaust or exhaust emission issues are also likely given the high mileage and age of the vehicle. A thorough physical inspection is required to determine if the brakes are in good condition or if they are approaching the point of failure, and to check for any signs of rust or corrosion that could compromise the vehicle's safety.
