2009 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · FG59 VGF

The 2009 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 January 2026 at 70,180 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the supplied history, showing clean passes once minor administrative failures were cleared on the same day. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded test cycle. Recorded mileage sits at 70,180 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 4,128 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 64,689 miles in February 2024, 67,100 at the January 2025 failure, and 70,178 at the January 2026 failure. The two-mile gap between the failed and passed tests on each anniversary confirms the failures carried no listed defects and were likely documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical. Low annual use suggests prolonged standing periods, though the clean sheets give no evidence of neglect in consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low-use profile, as static corrosion or perished rubbers will not always surface in a pass with no advisories. Standing time raises the risk of seized calipers or flat-spotted tyres that a short test drive may not expose. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pattern with zero defects implies previous owners kept the vehicle legally tested but offers no insight into interim servicing. Verify service stamps, check underneath for structural rust, and confirm the tyres hold date-code freshness before purchase.
