2013 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · N17 GBK

The 2013 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 July 2025 at 99,082 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. No advisories or failures appear in any entry from 2021 to 2025, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT scope during this period. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 69,280 miles in July 2021, rising to 75,825 by June 2022, 84,649 in July 2023, 91,973 in July 2024, and 99,082 in July 2025. Annual increments average roughly 7,400 to 8,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or standing gaps, reflecting consistent moderate use rather than neglect or excessive commercial duty. The absence of flagged items means the MOT data alone reveals no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or structural corrosion issues requiring concern. A clean five-year run suggests previous owners kept basic statutory upkeep current. The buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underside structural integrity, brake caliper operation, and exhaust emissions, as MOT passes do not certify component life beyond test day. Given the vehicle's age and 99,082 miles, in-person checks should target consumable wear not always visible at test: tyre sidewall condition, wiper blade fitness, and fluid intervals. The history implies disciplined ownership, yet no record substitutes for a physical appraisal of drivetrain noise and chassis rust before purchase.
