2017 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · YH67 AED

The 2017 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 16 April 2026 at 70,390 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2026 resulted in a clean certificate. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition and no advisory warnings across the timeline. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a nine-year-old car. The odometer climbed from 44,200 miles at the 23 June 2022 test to 55,676 miles by 26 April 2023, then 58,042 miles in April 2024, 64,110 miles in April 2025, and 70,390 miles in April 2026. Annual increments average roughly 6,500 to 7,000 miles, slightly below the 7,821 miles per year norm implied by the total. A fourteen-month gap separates the 2022 and 2023 tests, yet subsequent entries fall within standard twelve-month cycles. The sparse but unbroken record suggests the previous keeper adhered to statutory testing without lapse. No tester flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues at any interval. Such a clean history implies conscientious upkeep rather than deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the front suspension arms and rear trailing bushes, given the Soul's age and 70,000-mile tally. Examine brake disc thickness and pad wear, and probe sills and subframe for incipient rust despite absent MOT advisories. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades against legal limits, though none required attention in the records. The absence of recorded faults does not negate normal wear on dampers and exhaust hangers. A pre-purchase check on a ramp remains prudent to confirm the structural integrity the MOT tests implicitly endorsed.
