2009 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · FL59 PXD

The 2009 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 26 June 2025 at 53,366 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The prior day's failure on 25 June 2025 at 53,363 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded rectification rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear on any test from 2022 through 2025. The odometer shows 47,281 miles at the 13 June 2022 test, rising to 48,568 by 26 May 2023, then 51,674 on 20 June 2024, and 53,366 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 3,100 miles per year, low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The sparse, clean history with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues suggests light use, though prolonged standing periods common at this mileage can mask perishing seals or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a single test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The tester recorded no binding calipers or worn coil springs, yet low-mileage cars often hide stale brake fluid and degraded rubber components. Verify the 25 June 2025 failure reason through DVSA channels, since the defect field is empty despite the reversal.
