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 with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on July 23, 2025 at 45,883 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for an inoperative reversing lamp. This indicates that the owner is addressing minor electrical faults to maintain compliance, following a clean pass recorded in July 2024 at 42,330 miles. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 34,164 miles in August 2022 to 45,883 miles by mid-2025. This low-frequency usage suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the car sits for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and-related components. The August 2023 test at 38,908 miles flagged pitted front inner brake discs, thin brake pads, and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. While these are consumable items, the appearance of multiple wear issues at once suggests a need to verify the current state of the discs and pads to ensure recent replacement actually occurred. Given the age of the Ford Ka, checking for corrosion on the chassis and suspension arches is also vital, as low-mileage cars can suffer from surface rust while stationary.
