2009 KIA SOUL1.6L Petrol

The Kia Soul presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 19 January 2026 at 66,984 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior pass on 6 February 2025 at 65,905 miles was similarly clear. No worsening fault pattern emerges from the supplied record. The odometer shows 66,984 miles against a 2009 build, equating to roughly 3,940 miles per year. This is low for the age. Gaps between tests are narrow: 64,564 miles on 23 January 2024, 65,904 at the 21 January 2025 failure, and 65,905 the next pass. The car covered only about 1,420 miles in the year to January 2025 and 1,079 to January 2026. Low use with two same-day fail-then-pass cycles in January 2025 and January 2026 suggests administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, though no defects were listed either time. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's seventeen years. Standing periods implied by low mileage can accelerate corrosion on structural members and exhaust hangers even when MOT advisories are absent. The DVSA data shows no recorded faults, but a clean sheet at this age does not confirm underlying wear. Check underneath for rust at sills and subframes, and verify tyre sidewall condition from long storage. The repeated zero-defect failures hint previous owners cleared paperwork promptly without documented intervention, so assume consumables are original unless proven otherwise.
