The KIA SOUL (2009-12) 5DR SUV 1.6 124 1 AUTO4 is a compact five-door crossover, with an upright shape and raised stance. In the UK used market, it sits between a small hatchback and a family SUV, offering distinctive styling and useful everyday space without feeling oversized for urban drivers. It suits commuters, couples and families needing easy access, a higher seating position and flexible room for shopping or weekend bags. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 78 checks across 17 VINs; the cars checked averaged 94,000 miles and around 8,000 miles yearly. That gives shoppers a snapshot, though each car’s condition varies. The automatic 1.6 petrol version prioritises driving over sporty performance, and its boxy design stands out beside conventional rivals such as the Nissan Note or Vauxhall Meriva. Mycarcheck.com checks show an average private-sale valuation of £2,100 and 4.2 previous keepers, so compare paperwork, service history and condition carefully before purchase.
