2022 KIA EV6 GT-Line S Electric · RE22 GDZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-01-21 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 13,963 miles, and the prior test on 2025-02-05 at 11,216 miles also passed without failings. This demonstrates a stable maintenance trend with no recurring advisories or defects over the past 18 months, suggesting consistent compliance with MOT standards. The absence of any advisory notes—even for minor consumables—implies the tester did not identify any latent issues requiring attention. However, the lack of a test within the last six months means a full inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential before purchase, particularly for components not routinely checked by MOT standards. The recorded mileage of 13,963 miles over four years—approximately 3,491 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The gap between tests (11,216 to 13,963 miles in just over a year) suggests the vehicle was driven sparingly during that period, which could mean some wear items like suspension bushes or brake pads may have degraded more slowly than expected. Conversely, if the car was stored for extended periods, fluid levels (coolant, brake fluid, differential oil) should be verified, as prolonged stagnation can lead to contamination or degradation. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—for signs of wear or corrosion, even at low mileage. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced uneven braking in the past. Tyre condition should be examined closely, as the absence of tread-related advisories in two tests might reflect either diligent maintenance or a lack of thorough inspection. Finally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as low mileage does not preclude environmental damage from salt or moisture over time. Structural integrity, including the battery compartment and high-voltage connections, should also be assessed, given the EV’s unique requirements.
