2022 KIA EV6 GT-Line Electric · KS71 SMV

The vehicle presents in a stable state of roadworthiness following a clean inspection. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 40,065 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year. While the car failed a test in late January 2025, the immediate pass just four days later suggests that the identified issue was minor and rectified promptly by the owner. The vehicle currently meets all statutory safety and emissions standards. The mileage profile reflects consistent usage patterns for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between the January 2025 test and the January 2026 test, the car covered 9,154 miles, showing a steady driving habit rather than erratic bursts or long periods of inactivity. The short interval of only 30 miles recorded between the 2025 failure and the subsequent pass indicates the owner was proactive in addressing necessary repairs once they were flagged by the tester. Given the lack of recurring defects in the most recent records, a buyer should focus on the specific cause of the failure at 30,880 miles to ensure no underlying mechanical issues remains. Since this is an electric vehicle, the inspection should prioritise the physical condition of the suspension bushes and bushings, which can experience uneven wear due to the significant weight of the battery pack. Checking the brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear is also advisable, as regenerative braking can sometimes lead to surface rust if the vehicle is not used frequently.
