FORD KA2013 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 60,655 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just four days prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative issue or a trivial component that was rectified immediately before the re-test, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural weakness. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,666 miles per year. Between June 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 7,916 miles, indicating infrequent use or short trips. While this low mileage generally translates to less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and interior compared to high-mileage examples, the periods of standing associated with such usage can sometimes lead to dry seals or the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes, which are not always captured by MOT testers. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, a buyer should focus on identifying age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. Inspect the chassis for surface and structural corrosion, particularly in the wheel arches and sills, where these Ford models are prone to rust over time. Check the tyres for sidew cracking due to age and examine the brake discs for pitting, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface oxidation. The clean MOT history suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle, but a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and fluid condition remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked hidden degradation.
