2011 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · MV11 ABX

The 2011 KIA SOUL currently shows no recorded defects in its most recent MOT test on 2023-03-29 at 109,564 miles, indicating a passable roadworthiness status. However, the vehicle has a history of MOT failures in 2023-03-28 and 2022-03-24, both at identical mileages of 100,140 and 109,514 miles, with no defects listed. This suggests procedural or technical issues rather than mechanical faults, but the lack of recent inspections—over three years since the last test—raises concerns about unmonitored wear. The pattern shows no worsening defects, but the absence of data beyond 2023 limits confidence in its current condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,564 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 7,304 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. Notable gaps exist in the MOT history, with tests spaced irregularly: a 12-month interval between 2021-01-07 (95,305 miles) and 2022-03-30 (100,140 miles), followed by a 12-month gap to 2023-03-29. The absence of defects in all recorded tests implies consistent maintenance, but the sparse data and extended intervals between inspections mean potential issues may have gone unaddressed. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often degrade over time. Structural integrity, including rust or panel damage, is critical to assess, as MOT records do not capture such details. While the vehicle shows no immediate defects, the lack of recent MOT data necessitates a thorough mechanical review before purchase.
