Should I buy a pre-registered Kia Soul?

I currently have a 2004 Nissan Almera 2.2 Diesel. I've had it from new and it has been very reliable but I'm worried it's going to start getting expensive soon. I don't do a lot of mileage in it (4000 a year) as it's become our second car.

I have seen a number of old model Kia Soul 1.6 petrols for about £10,000, plus a smaller number of diesels. These are all registered, but Kia Approved so with seven years warranty. Do you think this is a good buy?

If they are old models they are actually two years old, whether they have been registered and/or used or not. I don't think £10,000 is a very good deal. It was when the cars were on runout and actually new a coupe of years ago, but not now.
