2012 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · WN62 EUA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 57,053 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of multiple advisories in late 2024. While the 2024 test highlighted several wear-related issues, the clean report today suggests that the owner addressed the flagged mechanical and consumable faults during the subsequent four-month interval. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 57,053 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,075 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between November 2022 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered only 1,338 miles in a full year. Conversely, the car covered 4,909 miles between the December 2024 and February 2026 tests. This low-annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion despite the lack of mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 test flagged both nearside and offside front anti-roll bar linkage bushes as worn. Although these were not failures at the time, they are rubber components prone to cracking as they age. The service history also shows a recurring pattern of thin brake pads noted in 2021, 2023, and 2024, indicating that the owner tends to replace components only when necessary rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or scoring, which often occurs on cars that sit stationary for long periods. The 2024 advisories regarding tyres worn to the legal limit and uneven edges suggest that the alignment should be verified if the current tyres show similar wear patterns. There are no structural failures or significant corrosion issues recorded in the history, which is a positive indicator for a chassis of this age.
