Our Verdict
A sensible choice for an electric vehicle buyer, provided you budget for immediate tyre replacement. The MOT history shows a recent trend of tyre wear issues that require attention.
When viewing this specific KIA Soul, your primary negotiation point should be the condition of the tyres. The most recent MOT in March 2026 recorded three tyres worn close to the legal limit, including inner edge wear. This suggests potential alignment issues or uneven driving habits that should be investigated.
Request documentation regarding any recent wheel alignments or suspension work. Since this is an electric vehicle, ensure you ask for a health check on the battery capacity and any software updates that may have been applied to the First Edition trim. Check that the charging cables are present and in good condition.
As an all-electric vehicle, running costs are primarily driven by electricity prices and insurance groups. Tax for electric vehicles is currently lower than internal combustion counterparts, though you should check the specific insurance group for this 2020 model.
Maintenance costs for this KIA are typically lower than petrol or diesel models due to fewer moving parts, but you should budget for regular tyre replacements, as the MOT history indicates these are a recurring maintenance item for this vehicle. Typical annual costs for fuel (electricity), tax, and maintenance are estimated below.
Focus heavily on the tyres and wheels. The MOT history shows a pattern of 'worn on edge' tyres in 2025 and 2026, specifically on the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear. Inspect the tread depth across all four tyres and look for signs of uneven wear which could indicate a need for a four-wheel alignment.
Additionally, look for any evidence of puncture repairs, following the 'nail in tyre' advisory from the 2025 MOT. While the 2023 and 2024 tests were defect-free, the recent shift toward tyre-related advisories means a thorough inspection of the suspension components is advisable to ensure the vehicle is tracking straight.
This 2020 KIA Soul First Edition EV in white has covered 57,975 miles since its registration in August 2020. While the 2023 and 2024 MOT tests recorded no defects, the two most recent inspections have highlighted issues with tyre tread and wear. The vehicle's mileage is consistent with its age, reflecting regular usage.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the KIA Soul First Edition EV.
