2015 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · LB15 EOV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 October 2025 at 28,420 miles resulted in zero defects, indicating that the previous minor issues have been addressed. This suggests the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with no immediate signs of mechanical failure or structural degradation identified in the latest testing cycle. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 2,600 miles per year. Between November 2021 and October 2025, the car covered 10,129 miles, confirming a pattern of short-distance use or long periods of inactivity. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals if the vehicle is not driven regularly. The consistent annual testing intervals suggest a disciplined maintenance schedule despite the low usage. A buyer should pay attention to the recurring fault regarding the nearside side repeater lens noted in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. Although this was a minor cosmetic defect, its persistence across two years indicates a lack of immediate attention to minor exterior repairs by previous owners. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on checking for brake corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. Additionally, verifying the condition of the tyres and suspension bushings is essential, as age-related perish can occur regardless of low tread wear.
