2022 KIA EV6 GT-Line S AWD Electric · S17 PAJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 25 September 2025, indicating a generally stable maintenance trend. The only recorded failure was a defective offside windscreen wiper blade, which is a minor consumable item and does not suggest any underlying mechanical neglect. The presence of a single advisory regarding a tyre suggests the vehicle is being maintained to a reasonable standard, though it highlights the need for closer inspection of the rubber components. With a recorded mileage of 16,366 miles over approximately four years, this vehicle has been used significantly less than the national average, averaging roughly 4,092 miles per annum. While this low usage reduces the wear on the electric drivetrain and suspension bushings, it increases the likelihood of issues stemming from prolonged periods of standing. Low-mileage vehicles are often more susceptible to the perishing of rubber seals and the accumulation of surface corrosion on braking components. Given the MOT advisory regarding a perishing nearside front tyre, a comprehensive inspection of all tyre sidewalls is essential. You should look for fine cracking or weathering, as tyres can degrade due to age even when the tread depth remains legal. During a test drive, pay close attention to the braking performance. Listen for any grinding sounds or feel for a shudder through the pedal, which could indicate binding calipers or pitted brake discs resulting from infrequent use. Furthermore, you should verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as these are prone to failure in electric vehicles that experience long intervals between charges. Review the service record to ensure that time-based maintenance has been carried out, specifically the replacement of cabin filters and the flushing of brake fluid, as these degrade based on calendar time rather than mileage. Finally, ensure the high-voltage battery has been maintained within recommended charge levels to preserve long-term cell health.
