2010 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · A8 AHY

The 2010 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 86,624 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. No advisories or failures appear in any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test scope over the past four years. Mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 43,370 miles in February 2022, rising to 54,495 by December 2022, then 65,096 in August 2023, 77,159 in July 2024, and 86,624 in July 2025. Annual accumulation averages roughly 5,400 miles, with a brief spike of about 11,000 miles between the February and December 2022 tests suggesting a period of heavier use. The clean sheets across this span imply previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though the sparse five-entry record limits deeper trend analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low standing mileage, which can mask perished rubbers or corroded calipers not yet flagged. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for latent corrosion, as the Soul's light use may have allowed moisture-related degradation to develop unseen. No recurring faults or advisories emerge from the DVLA data to direct focused scrutiny. The absence of recorded defects points to reasonable upkeep, but a pre-purchase check remains prudent on a vehicle of this vintage.
