KIA SOUL2010 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing in recent years. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 100,796 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean records in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year over the car's sixteen-year life. This low-mileage profile generally aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows regular intervals between tests, such as the 4,000-mile gap between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 4,000-mile interval between 2023 and 2024. This regularity reduces the likelihood of the drivetrain being subjected to extreme stress, though low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals over time. A buyer should note the single failure in November 2023 at 92,785 miles, which occurred just eight days before a successful pass. While the specific reason for that failure is not listed in the summary, the immediate subsequent pass suggests a minor component was rectified rather than a systemic mechanical issue. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and suspension mounting points where corrosion is common on cars of this era. Additionally, checking the condition of suspension bushes and brake calipers is advisable, as these components often age regardless of the relatively low annual mileage.
