2013 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AY13 YSC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 30 August 2025 at 45,795 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met all minimum safety and emissions standards without recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation being flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 37,798 miles and August 2025 at 45,795 miles, the car covered only 7,997 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and interior- items. However, such low annual mileage often carries the risk of rubber-based components degrading or brakes seizing if the vehicle sits for long periods between uses. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by age and stasis rather than mileage. A buyer should check for surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this model regardless of distance driven. The brake discs should be examined for heavy pitting or rust, as low-frequency use can lead to oxidation. Additionally, the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls should be inspected for cracking or dry rot due to the age of the materials.
