2018 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · CU18 HDD

The 2018 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 26,354 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows 15,851 miles at the 7 March 2022 test, rising to 18,790 by 1 March 2023, 22,484 on 27 February 2024, 24,463 on 21 February 2025, and 26,354 on 25 February 2026. Annual increments average roughly 2,600 miles, well below typical use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with the five-year test spacing means components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may have aged through disuse rather than wear. Standing periods can permit corrosion to develop on structural members and exhaust systems even where the tester recorded no advisories. Given the absence of any flagged defects across the record, focus the viewing on tyre sidewall condition, brake disc surface pitting, and underbody structural integrity. The previous owner appears to have maintained the vehicle to pass standard, but the sparse MOT data alone cannot confirm ongoing mechanical health beyond each annual snapshot.
