2010 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · MT60 ORA

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , as the MOT record exhibits a clear worsening trend following the most recent test on 2025-09-13. This assessment is anchored by the fact that the 2025 test was a PASSED run at 133,239 miles, but this result was immediately followed by two consecutive FAILS in October 2024 at 127,252 and 127,224 miles respectively. The sequence of failures indicates that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance since September 2023, with the most recent test failing at 120,453 miles. This pattern suggests that basic upkeep was skipped during the previous ownership period, leading to a progressive degradation of mechanical components. The mileage accumulation has been rapid and inconsistent , creating significant gaps in the vehicle's operational history. The vehicle has maintained approximately 8,327 miles annually, which aligns with its age but does not reflect the typical wear profile for a 2010 model. The data shows no gaps in mileage between the 2024-10-03 and 2024-09-30 tests, yet the final result was a failure. This rapid accumulation suggests that the vehicle has been driven for a prolonged period with no suspension or brake adjustments, allowing wear on the chassis and components to mount up. The lack of any mileage recorded between the 2024-10-03 and 2024-09-30 failures further confirms that the vehicle has been in service without proper servicing, leading to accelerated failure of critical components. Consequently, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the suspension and brakes, which are the most probable sources of failure given the history. The 2025 test at 133,239 miles was a PASSED run, but the subsequent failures in 2024 indicate that the vehicle is no longer in a safe condition. The lack of a 2024-09-30 test means that the vehicle has been driven for less than a year, with the most recent test failing at 120,453 miles. This gap in maintenance history implies that the vehicle may have had a suspension bushing replaced or a coil spring worn out, or that the brakes have developed corrosion or binding calipers. The buyer must verify the condition of these components before purchasing, as the vehicle's mechanical integrity is currently at risk due to the lack of recent servicing and the rapid accumulation of wear.
