2016 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · LE16 OCL

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and positive maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 25 September 2025 at 34,702 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of clean results across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not encountered the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older cars. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,470 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 25,884 miles and November 2024 at 32,871 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, showing consistent low-intensity use. The recent 1,831 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests continue this pattern. This suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also implies the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods between annual services. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for issues common with low-mileage cars. Long periods of standing can lead to perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which may show cracking despite low tread. Check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, as infrequent use often allows surface corrosion over time. Additionally, verify the service history to ensure oil and fluids were changed annually based on time rather than just mileage, to protect the engine from moisture contamination and degradation.
