Description
Rare and distinctive Kia Soul Searcher special edition in green metallic.
I purchased this car in June 2026 as a stop-gap while waiting for my new lease car. It has been exceptionally reliable, but my lease car has now arrived so the Soul is no longer required.
I’ve spent over £1,700 on recent mechanical and MOT work, so despite the short ownership I have made sure the car is mechanically well looked after and is now ready for its next owner.

The leather interior is in excellent condition.
The exterior is presentable for a 15-year-old car with 121k miles. There are various age-related marks, as you would expect, but no major dents or large scrapes. The 18” alloys are very presentable but not perfect
Known faults/points to note
The air conditioning isn’t working. The control panel operates and the heating works normally, but the compressor does not engage and the system appears to have lost its refrigerant. There may therefore be a leak which would need investigating.
The soul comes with a new MOT valid to 10th Sept 2027 and has no advisories
One key.
No warning lights, knocks, bangs or other issues. Drives stops and runs very well.
Extensive stamped service book plus later invoices and maintenance records, a selection of which is shown in the photos, totalling over £4500 of expenditure in the past 2 years. The Soul has been well maintained.
Professionally valated every 2 weeks in my ownership.
Private sale. Genuine enquiries welcome. Viewing and test drive welcome with appropriate insurance.
