2022 KIA EV6 AIR Electric · LC22 EOE

The 2022 KIA EV6 AIR holds a current MOT, having passed on 6 April 2026 at 50,103 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a minor emerging concern. The 2025 test at 41,408 miles was entirely clean, yet the 2026 test flagged a defect on the rear brake discs, specifically that they were worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. This is a new issue that has appeared in the last 8,695 miles. For an electric vehicle, this is notable because regenerative braking reduces traditional brake use, making such disc wear less common and worth investigating. The mileage pattern indicates high use for a four-year-old car. The vehicle has covered 50,103 miles since 2022, averaging roughly 12,526 miles per year. The gap between the two recorded tests, from 41,408 miles in April 2025 to 50,103 miles in April 2026, shows an accumulation of 8,695 miles in one year. This is consistent with sustained, regular driving rather than long periods of standing. The MOT history is sparse, with only two recorded tests, so a full service history would be valuable to confirm the overall care pattern. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on the braking system. The pitted and scored rear brake discs flagged in April 2026 suggest either aggressive use, a sticking caliper, or debris ingress. Check the rear pads for uneven wear and the caliper slides for free movement. Inspect the disc surfaces yourself for deep scoring or lipping beyond the wear ridge. Given the high mileage, also examine the suspension bushes, drop links, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as these components endure more stress on a frequently driven EV. The front brakes and regenerative braking system should be tested for smooth operation and balanced deceleration.
