2014 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · FJ14 TPO

The 2014 Kia Soul presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent inspection. On 31 March 2026 at 72,494 miles, the tester recorded zero defects, confirming the vehicle met all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards at that time. This outcome indicates the car has been kept in a sound operating condition leading up to the current date. The maintenance trajectory shows no worsening mechanical issues, with the vehicle passing its last two annual assessments without any advisories or failures. The recorded mileage aligns closely with the vehicle's age, reflecting typical light usage rather than prolonged standing or excessive wear. Between the March 2024 test at 60,066 miles and the April 2025 test at 66,738 miles, the Soul covered 6,672 miles over thirteen months. The subsequent year saw a slightly reduced accumulation of 5,756 miles, reaching 72,494 miles by March 2026. This consistent annual mileage suggests regular, steady use. A minor data anomaly exists in the DVSA record for 2024 and 2025, where a failed test and a passed test appear on the same date at identical mileages. Given that no defects were recorded against these failures, this likely represents a same-day retest or a DVSA administrative quirk rather than a recurring mechanical fault. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains prudent for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Buyers should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components degrade over time regardless of mileage. The underbody and wheel arches require close scrutiny for corrosion, a common issue for vehicles of this age. Brake disc thickness and tyre condition warrant verification, as consumable wear can occur rapidly between tests. The engine bay should be inspected for fluid leaks or perished hoses, ensuring the lack of recorded defects translates to actual mechanical integrity.
