2018 KIA Soul Electric · LM68 OER

The 2018 KIA SOUL demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests since 2021 recording no defects. The most recent 2025-05-19 inspection at 56,506 miles confirmed compliance, indicating no emerging mechanical or structural issues. Maintenance intervals align with typical usage patterns, and the absence of advisories or failures across eight years suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained. No recurring faults or escalating risks were identified in the recorded history. Mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with 17,958 miles at the 2021 test, rising to 56,506 by 2025. Annual increases average 7,063 miles, reflecting moderate use without abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2022-06-07 test at 18,294 miles followed a 2021-12-08 reading of 17,958, suggesting a brief period of minimal usage before resuming regular operation. The MOT record lacks gaps, implying consistent tracking and adherence to testing schedules. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, a pre-purchase inspection should verify suspension components, brake systems, and exhaust integrity, as these are common wear points in older vehicles. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories is positive, but physical checks for rust on underbody panels, brake disc thickness, and steering linkage play are recommended. The vehicle’s maintenance record supports its reliability, but a hands-on assessment remains essential to confirm its current condition.
