The EV3 is too recently launched to have a meaningful independent MOT pass rate in the current DVSA dataset; most examples are still within their first 3-year MOT exemption period.
What to know
As a genuinely new model, there isn't yet enough MOT test history for the EV3 to have a meaningful independent pass rate, most examples on the road are still within the first three years of registration, when a car doesn't need an MOT at all in Great Britain.
As an EV, road tax now applies from April 2025 onward, and running costs are worth checking specifically using our running cost calculator, which accounts for electricity costs alongside VED. Kia's strong showing in DVSA's overall brand data (75.2%, well above the national average) is a reasonable, if indirect, positive signal for newer models like this one.
