2013 Ford KA 1.2L Diesel · MM13 AAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a pass in its most recent test on 16 May 2025 at 91,737 miles. While the history shows instances of failure immediately preceding successful passes, the current clean MOT record suggests that the previous owner addressed necessary issues before the inspection deadline. The lack of recorded advisories in the latest entry indicates that the immediate mechanical and structural components met the minimum safety standards at that time. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 79,722 miles and the May 2024 test at 82,694 miles, the car covered only 3,000 miles, followed by a more active period of 9,043 miles leading up to the 2025 test. This suggests fluctuating usage which often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can lead to rubber components degrading if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Ford vehicles of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Although the record shows no current defects, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check of suspension bushes and coil springs, which often perish regardless of mileage. Given the intermittent usage, inspecting the brake discs for surface pitting and the calipers for binding is also prudent to ensure the system has not suffered from periods of inactivity.
