The KIA SOUL (2011-15) 5DR SUV 1.6 CRDI DPF 126 EU5 INFERNO 6SPD is a distinctive compact crossover, combining hatchback practicality with a taller, SUV-inspired shape. In the UK used-car market, it offers an upright, roomy alternative to small family hatchbacks without the bulk of a larger SUV. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 36 checks covering 18 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £4,900 and average recorded mileage of 77,000 miles; typical annual mileage is 9,000, with about 2.4 previous keepers. These figures can help set expectations, but each car’s history and condition matter. The diesel and six-speed gearbox suit commuting and longer journeys, while the Soul’s practical cabin and eye-catching, boxy styling appeal to couples and small families wanting easy access and space. Against rivals, it stands out for character and versatility; check service records and condition before buying.
