2022 KIA EV6 GT-Line AWD Electric · SL72 LBZ

The most recent DVSA examination on 7 July 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded, and this follows an equally clean pass at the previous test on 3 November 2025. With two consecutive unblemished examinations and no recurrence of wear-related advisories such as brake disc surface corrosion, suspension component deterioration, or tyre condition notes, the documented maintenance trend points towards a vehicle that has been conscientiously prepared for test and is likely benefiting from active upkeep. The absence of any historic advisory carry-over across these records is a positive indicator, although it should be noted that the MOT is a minimum roadworthiness standard at the point of test and does not guarantee the condition of service items, high-voltage battery health, or non-tested components. Against an age of approximately four years, the recorded mileage of 56,797 miles equates to an annual accumulation of around 14,199 miles, which is meaningfully above the national average and sits firmly in the higher-use bracket for a vehicle of this age. High mileage on any car accelerates wear on consumable and structural items alike, and on a dual-motor EV such as the EV6 GT-Line AWD the principal considerations are the high-voltage battery state of health, the condition of the electric drive units, and the rotational and friction components which still wear in line with distance covered. Sustained higher mileage also tends to expose weakness in suspension bushes, anti-roll bar links, and wheel bearings sooner than would be expected on a lower-mileage example, so any test drive should be attentive to these areas. Given the clean MOT record and the higher-than-average mileage, the prospective buyer should focus inspection effort on items that fall outside the MOT pass/fail criteria but are nonetheless critical on a heavily used EV. The 12-volt auxiliary battery, which powers the control systems and is known to be a failure item on EVs of this era, should be load-tested as age and mileage make degradation likely; verify the high-voltage battery state of health via the diagnostic menu or a dealer-level scan, as this is the single most expensive component on the vehicle. Tyres warrant close scrutiny for both tread depth and, importantly, sidewall perishing and cracking given the age, while brake discs should be examined for lipping and the calipers checked for binding, as EVs rely on regenerative braking and the friction brakes can seize from infrequent use even at high overall mileage. Finally, although there are no recorded advisories, a physical inspection and short test drive remain essential. Listen for any suspension clonks or knocking over speed humps and uneven surfaces, which would suggest worn bushes, top mounts, or drop links. Check for fluid leaks from the cooling system, as the EV6 uses a dedicated circuit for the drive units and battery, and verify the condition of the charging port and cable. Inspect the underside for any corrosion or impact damage, confirm the service history documentation including any high-voltage system checks, and ensure that the infotainment and driver assistance systems, including the forward-facing cameras and radar, are functioning correctly, as recalibration following windscreen or bumper work is a common oversight. With the MOT history as it stands, there are no flagged concerns, but the mileage profile warrants the additional diligence outlined above before committing to purchase.
