2010 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · FH10 TLU

The 2010 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 October 2025 at 58,959 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the prior three annual examinations. Recorded mileage sits at 58,959 against an October 2025 test, equating to roughly 3,685 miles per year over the vehicle's sixteen-year life. The history shows gentle, consistent use: 50,046 miles in October 2022, 52,682 at the October 2023 pass, 55,778 by October 2024, and 58,959 by October 2025. A single failure on 13 October 2023 at 52,861 miles carries no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing three days later. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repairs. Low annual mileage of this order often means long stationary periods, which can degrade tyres, brake calipers, and suspension bushes through lack of movement rather than abrasion. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed wear before each examination, though DVSA data captures only the test-day snapshot. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of brake discs for corrosion-induced scoring, suspension arms for perished bushes, and the underbody for structural rust around sills and subframes. Verify the tyres are not aged-cracked from standing and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the engine's intermittent use.
