KIA SOUL2017 · Electric

The 2017 Kia Soul presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-22 at 81,436 miles recording a pass with no defects. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests since 2022, including the 2024-10-31 test at 74,683 miles and the 2023-11-02 test at 61,928 miles. The sole anomaly is a failed MOT on 2023-11-01 at identical mileage, though no defects were recorded, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor procedural issue. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident in the history, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,048 miles annually. The intervals between MOT tests are regular, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation that would signal neglect or excessive wear. The 2022-10-18 test at 53,446 miles marked the earliest recorded pass, followed by steady increases to 61,928 miles in late 2023 and 74,683 miles in 2024. The absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the vehicle has not experienced critical component degradation, though routine maintenance remains essential for longevity. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate visible symptoms. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection of calipers and discs is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion or wear. Structural integrity appears intact, but checking for rust in common areas—such as underbody panels and door sills—would provide further assurance. The MOT history indicates no urgent risks, but a pre-purchase survey remains prudent to address any latent issues not captured in the recorded tests.
