Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus on the tyres during your inspection. The MOT history shows repeated advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in 2023, 2025, and 2026, which may suggest a wheel alignment issue. Ensure the current tyres have sufficient tread and are wearing evenly across the surface.
As this is an electric vehicle, request any available battery health reports to understand the current capacity compared to when it was new. Check the service history for any software updates or battery-related maintenance performed by Kia to ensure the electrical system has been monitored.
As a fully electric vehicle, this Kia Soul benefits from very low fuel costs compared to petrol or diesel equivalents and currently qualifies for the lowest road tax brackets. Insurance costs will depend on the driver's profile, but the Soul generally sits in a moderate insurance group.
Maintenance costs for EVs are typically lower due to fewer moving parts. However, you should budget for the replacement of tyres and wiper blades, both of which have appeared as advisories in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be relatively low.
Pay close attention to the tyres, specifically the offside rear which was noted as worn close to the legal limit in January 2026. The history of 'worn on edge' advisories across multiple tyres in 2023 and 2025 suggests a need to check the wheel alignment and suspension components.
Inspect the braking system, specifically the nearside rear service brake, which was noted as binding in January 2025. While the record stated this was not excessive, it is worth verifying that the brake is operating smoothly. Finally, check the condition of the windscreen wiper blades, as both were found defective in 2023.
This blue 2018 Kia Soul EV has covered 26,483 miles since its first registration in October 2018. The MOT history shows five tests with no failures, although there are recurring advisories regarding tyre wear. Its low mileage for its age makes it an attractive proposition in the used EV market.
While aggregate data for this model is unavailable, this specific vehicle has maintained a clean record of MOT passes.
