2010 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · CV60 STZ

The 2010 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 September 2025 at 79,302 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the test history shows two anomalous failures in 2024 and 2025 where the DVSA system logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration. No recurring advisories or worsening faults appear across the five-year span. The recorded mileage sits at 79,302 against a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,956 miles per year. This is low for the age and suggests light use or periods of standing. The annual increments are modest: 67,279 miles in July 2023, 73,934 by August 2024, and 79,302 by September 2025. The clean record with no corrosion, suspension, or brake flags means the data is sparse but favourable, offering little evidence of heavy drivetrain or consumable stress. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. The two defect-free failures on 1 August 2024 at 73,925 miles and 21 August 2025 at 78,934 miles warrant confirmation that no suppressed advisories exist on suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs from those tests. Verify the exhaust emissions and tyre condition in person, as low-mileage cars often suffer flat-spotted tyres and seized calipers from prolonged storage. The absence of recorded advisories across all entries implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the twin no-defect failures hint at lax testing discipline rather than owner neglect. Given the 79,302-mile low usage, prioritise a check of fluid degradation, handbrake function, and steering joint play before purchase.
