2013 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · GV62 EOK

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-18 shows a failure with repeated issues including worn front tyres, stop lamp faults, and a registration plate lamp inoperative. These same tyre and lighting problems were also recorded in the prior MOT on the same date, suggesting unresolved maintenance. The failure highlights ongoing risks with safety-critical components like braking and visibility. A recurring pattern of tyre wear near legal limits is evident across multiple MOTs, including 2024, 2023, and 2022. This indicates either consistent neglect in tyre replacement or underlying issues like misalignment, suspension wear, or aggressive driving. The 2025 MOT specifically notes both front inner tyres worn close to the limit, reinforcing this concern. Suspension and shock absorber issues have appeared intermittently, such as corroded shock casings (2024) and worn bushes (2024, 2022). While these were addressed in some cases, the 2025 MOT does not mention them, suggesting possible repairs. However, the lack of recent updates on these components means their current condition remains uncertain. The vehicle’s mileage of 104,905 miles over 13 years equates to ~8,070 miles annually, which is typical for its age.
