2022 Kia Soul Maxx EV

CarHunch analysed 836 real MOT records for the 2022 Kia Soul Maxx EV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Kia Soul Maxx EV is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 94.9% first-time pass rate that sits well ahead of the UK average of 80%—and only 2.6% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. This is an electric vehicle built to a solid standard with very few structural weaknesses emerging early.

At just over 21,000 miles median mileage for a two-year-old car, these are lightly used examples, which explains why each vehicle averages only 0.1 failures per test. The 0.6 advisories per car suggest minor wear items are starting to appear, but nothing systemic—if you're considering one, a basic pre-purchase inspection will likely uncover any issues before they become costly.

What to check before buying a 2022 Kia Soul Maxx EV

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
