2017 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · AE17 UNZ

The 2017 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 71,083 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results from February 2022 through to the present date. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a nine-year-old vehicle. The records show 62,616 miles in February 2022, rising to 65,329 by February 2023, 67,704 by February 2024, 69,433 by February 2025, and 71,083 by February 2026. That equates to roughly 2,100 miles per year across the recorded period, well below the suggested 7,898 annual average, indicating light use with no abrupt accumulation or gaps in testing. The sparse history shows no advisories or failures at any stage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage may have allowed components to degrade through standing rather than wear. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the DVLA data is encouraging, yet underside rust and perished rubber cannot be ruled out without a ramp examination. Given the clean record, previous owners appear to have kept the vehicle lightly used and compliant with statutory testing. No recurring mechanical faults emerge from the history, but pre-purchase checks on tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions remain sensible given the car's age.
