2013 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LY63 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent test. The October 2025 inspection at 49,502 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful tests in November 2024 and November 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical or structural issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 3,808 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 32,136 miles in December 2021 to 49,502 miles in October 2025. This low annual usage suggests the car has seen light use, though the relatively long gap between the December 2021 and November 2023 tests warrants attention. Such periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or seized brake calipers, even if they do not trigger an immediate MOT failure. While the MOT record is clean, the low mileage and age require a physical inspection of age-related wear. You should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive shafts, as these components can suffer from degradation even when driven infrequently. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion or structural degradation that may not have reached the threshold for an MOT failure. The brake system should be checked for even pad wear and any signs of binding, and the tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking due to age. Given the low usage, the vehicle appears well-maintained on paper, but a thorough check of fluid levels and the condition of all rubber hoses is necessary to ensure the car has not suffered from long periods of standing.
