Mechanical Assessment

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

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on September 2, 2025 at 61,240 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure just two miles prior. This suggests a minor issue, likely a blown bulb or a simple sensor fault, was rectified immediately, indicating that the owner is proactive in ensuring the vehicle meets DVSA safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use profile, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year over the ten-year period. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 4,425 miles, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 saw 2,812 miles. This relatively low rate of accumulation reduces the typical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components compared to higher-mileage examples. There is no evidence of sudden high-age bursts that would🇯 accelerated mechanical degradation. While the history is clean of structural failures, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the common weak points for a Ford Ka of this era. Given the age of the vehicle, check for surface corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, where rust often initiates irrespective of low mileage. Examine the suspension bushes for cracking or perishing, as low-mileage cars can suffer from rubber components drying out over time. The lack of advisories in the records suggests the braking system and tyres are in good condition, but a manual check for binding calipers or uneven tyre wear remains advisable.
