2016 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · FL66 FVE

The 2016 Kia Soul presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 50,703 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every examination in the available history. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 42,065 miles on 18 March 2022, rising to 43,505 by 12 September 2022, then 46,152 on 31 August 2023, 48,414 on 4 September 2024, and 50,703 on 27 August 2025. That equates to roughly 2,000 miles per year since 2022 and under 5,100 across the vehicle's life. The sparse, clean MOT entries suggest light use with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage combined with long standing periods can allow corrosion to develop on structural members, subframes, and brake discs without triggering an MOT advisory. The tester noted no binding calipers or worn coil springs, but static storage often hides such faults until road use resumes. Verify underbody condition, brake freedom, and tyre sidewall integrity before purchase. The absence of advisories implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, yet the low annual distance means mechanical components may have aged through time rather than wear, demanding scrutiny of rubber seals and fluid condition.
