2013 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FX63 NWR

The vehicle shows a stable maintenance trend with a clean MOT record in the most recent test on 14 March 2026 at 12,060 miles. This follows a successful pass in April 2025 at 11,908 miles, indicating the car has maintained its roadworthiness without recurring mechanical defects in the last two years. The history suggests a vehicle that is generally well-kept, despite a single failure in June 2024 due to a structural sidewall bulge on the offside rear outer tyre. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 928 miles per year. The data shows very gradual accumulation, moving from 5,389 miles in 2016 to 12,060 miles in 2026. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long periods of inactivity can lead to secondary issues. The consistent annual testing suggests the owner has remained diligent with compliance despite the minimal driving frequency. A prospective buyer should focus on components affected by long-term stationary use. The May 2022 test flagged corrosion on both nearside and offside rear lower coil springs at 10,280 miles. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the presence of spring corrosion on a low-mileage car warrants a physical inspection to ensure the rust has not progressed or compromised the suspension integrity. The June 2024 failure for a tyre bulge indicates a sudden structural failure of a consumable, which can happen when tyres age and perish from lack of movement rather than tread wear. I recommend checking the manufacture dates on all tyres and inspecting rubber components like suspension bushes and engine mounts for signs of cracking or perishing. Checking for any signs of fluid leaks or seized brake calipers is also advisable, as these are common symptoms of vehicles that sit idle for extended periods.
