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.

Documented service & maintenance history

11,676 miles – 1st service
24,971 miles – 2nd service
37,198 miles – 3rd service
47,752 miles – 4th service
67,022 miles – 5th service
69,322 miles – service
77,025 miles – service
82,010 miles – service
90,912 miles – service
98,036 miles – service
108,335 miles – 12th recorded service

Followed by extensive documented mechanical maintenance through 2025/26, including clutch, brakes, suspension, exhaust and steering components.

September 2026 @ 121,430 miles: over £1,700 spent by on major mechanical/MOT work, including brake pipes, brake hoses, rear brakes, wheel bearing, CV boots, drop links and a new tyre. MOT passed and valid until September 2027.

Searcher specification

• Tan & cream leather interior
• Heated front seats
• 18” Searcher alloy wheels
• Green metallic special-edition finish
• Roof rails
• Privacy glass
• Front fog lights
• Electric folding/heated mirrors
• Rear parking sensors
• Cruise control
• Automatic air conditioning - unfortunately not working
• Upgraded 8-speaker audio
• Bluetooth
• USB/AUX/iPod connectivity - cable included for old style iPod

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.

Please note if the advert is still visible the Soul is still for sale.
