2018 KIA Soul 1.6L Petrol · YL18 AEK

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-02 assessment at 19,039 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the car has been well-kept, with no signs of deterioration in critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s age, accumulating approximately 2,380 miles annually. Tests spaced 12 months apart show steady, incremental increases: 9,782 miles (2021) to 19,039 miles (2025), with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps. This pattern implies regular use rather than prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. However, the low mileage relative to age may mask wear in parts prone to aging, such as rubber components or electrical systems, which require physical inspection. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these can deteriorate over time even without high mileage. Inspect brake discs for corrosion or uneven wear, and check the exhaust system for rust, which may develop in vehicles stored for extended periods. While the MOT history shows no structural issues, a thorough visual and functional check of these areas is essential to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond documented tests.
