2020 KIA Soul First Edition EV Electric · V888 AJF

The 2020 KIA SOUL FIRST EDITION EV demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests. The most recent assessment on 2025-12-05 at 12,507 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with prior tests in 2024 and 2023. No recurring issues or advisories were flagged across the 2023–2025 period, suggesting consistent maintenance and minimal mechanical degradation. The absence of faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, and emissions indicates the vehicle has been well cared for, with no visible trends of deterioration. The vehicle’s mileage of 12,507 miles over six years equates to an average of 2,084 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. This low mileage may reflect light usage or extended periods of inactivity, which could affect components like tyres, batteries, and fluid systems. The MOT records show gradual mileage increases—6,646 to 9,333 miles (2023–2024) and 9,333 to 12,507 miles (2024–2025)—with no abrupt spikes or gaps that suggest neglect. However, the sparse data from 2023–2025 means limited insight into potential long-term wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as dry rot on tyres, corrosion in the underbody, or battery health. While no suspension or brake issues were recorded, low-mileage vehicles may require checks on coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition, as infrequent use can lead to stiffness or uneven wear. The absence of structural corrosion reports is reassuring, but a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and exhaust system is recommended to confirm the MOT’s findings.
