2012 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · MF62 EDU

The 2025‑07‑05 MOT at 101,711 miles passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. Earlier tests from 2024‑06‑10, 2023‑07‑10 and 2022‑06‑17 also showed passes, while the 2023‑07‑07 failure recorded no defects, suggesting any prior issue was resolved. Mileage has risen from 75,381 miles in June 2022 to 101,711 miles in July 2025, an average of roughly 7,265 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 14‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2022 test and the 2023 failure covered about 13,800 miles, and the subsequent 2023‑07‑07 to 2023‑07‑10 interval added only 112 miles, showing regular use without long idle periods. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the rear brake calipers for binding, and check the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Examine the exhaust system and structural panels for rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as these areas commonly deteriorate on vehicles of this age and mileage. Although the MOT history shows no recorded faults, the age‑related wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades, combined with the 101,711‑mile odometer reading, warrants a thorough visual and functional check before purchase.
