AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2013 Ford Ka demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent 2025-08-15 test at 27,716 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged across the record, indicating consistent maintenance or minimal wear. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, though low mileage may mask certain age-related degradation. The vehicle’s mileage of 27,716 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 2,132 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This pattern reflects either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to dry rot in rubber components or corrosion in stationary systems. The MOT history shows gradual mileage increases, with no abrupt spikes, and all tests conducted within 12-month intervals. The clean record lacks anomalies, but the low usage may require closer inspection of fluid freshness, battery condition, and suspension components prone to stiffness. A buyer should prioritize checking suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness or corrosion, as low mileage can exacerbate these issues. The absence of exhaust or emission failures is positive, but a physical inspection of the underbody for rust is advisable, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT history confirms no critical faults, the lack of recent high-mileage wear means potential hidden issues may only surface under extended use. A pre-purchase check should focus on these areas to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity beyond the recorded data.
