2018 KIA Soul 1.6L Diesel · YL67 RZB

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness record, demonstrating a stable and high standard of maintenance over the last four years. The most recent MOT conducted on 29 April 2025 at 82,497 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistent performance across the 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests suggests the previous owner adhered to a proactive servicing schedule, as the vehicle has remained free of mechanical failures or structural issues for the duration of this period. At eight years of age and 82,497 miles, the Kia Soul shows a steady usage pattern averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. The mileage accumulation is linear and consistent, indicating the vehicle has been used for regular commuting or general transport rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories across four consecutive years is a positive indicator of mechanical reliability and suggests the drivetrain and chassis have been spared from neglect or deferred repairs. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of high-wear consumable items that may have reached the end of their service life since the April 2025 test. While the MOT history is clean, verify the current thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these components frequently require replacement at this mileage interval. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these parts often begin to degrade after eight years of road use. Ensure the tyres show even tread wear across the axle, as a lack of alignment can cause rapid degradation not always captured during the annual test. Given the clean history, the primary focus remains on confirming that routine maintenance has been performed outside of the MOT cycle, specifically regarding fluid changes and transmission servicing.
