2011 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · PNZ 3059

The 2011 Kia Soul presents a stable roadworthiness status, the most recent MOT on 2025‑01‑20 recording a pass at 120,852 miles with no defects. The maintenance trend is improving; after a single failure in October 2023 at 113,974 miles, the subsequent November test at 114,815 miles returned a pass, and the vehicle has remained defect‑free through the latest inspection. This pattern indicates consistent upkeep and a lack of accumulating mechanical issues. Mileage accumulation follows a typical rate of roughly 8,000 miles per year, aligning with expectations for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. The gap between the September 2022 pass and the October 2023 failure spans about thirteen months, during which mileage rose from an unrecorded figure to 113,974 miles, suggesting regular use. A further twelve‑month interval to the January 2025 pass saw mileage increase by nearly 6,000 miles, reflecting steady annual usage rather than abrupt wear spikes. The record is sparse in the sense that only one failure appears, but the data does not reveal any abrupt mileage jumps that would signal irregular or excessive driving conditions. For a prospective buyer, attention should focus on components that naturally degrade with age and mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and examine tyre tread depth across all four wheels. The exhaust system should be examined for corrosion, and the underbody for rust spots, especially around wheel arches and sill panels. A visual check of the structural integrity of the chassis and any signs of previous repair work will provide further assurance of the vehicle’s condition.
