MOT Roadworthiness: Average

Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: KIA SOUL
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Electric Power Steering (MDPS) Flexible Coupler Wear(Moderate)
The motor-driven power steering (MDPS) column contains a small star-shaped polyurethane flexible coupler that cushions the motor drive gear. Over time, heat and mechanical fatigue cause the plastic teeth to degrade, disintegrate, and create noticeable free play. Drivers experience an annoying clicking or knocking through the steering wheel when changing direction or crossing uneven surfaces. While replacement parts are inexpensive, replacing the coupler requires dropping the steering column and partially dismantling the motor housing.
- 1.6 CRDi Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and EGR Valve Soot Clogging(Moderate)
The 1.6-litre CRDi diesel engine is engineered for motorway cruising and thermal efficiency, but many Souls were purchased as short-distance urban runarounds. In repeated stop-start driving, exhaust temperatures never reach the threshold required for passive DPF regeneration. Unburnt soot accumulates within the particulate filter and recirculating exhaust gas deposits carbon sludge across the EGR valve pintle. Sticking EGR valves cause hesitation under acceleration, black smoke, and eventual DPF blockage that triggers limp-home mode.
