2013 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · MM62 ECE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test on March 26, 2026, at 20,890 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a specific mechanical failure just one week prior to that pass. The failure at 20,887 miles due to excessive wear on both rear axle swivel pins and bushes indicates that the owner addressed the safety-critical defect immediately, as the car passed the subsequent retest. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 2,603 miles recorded between the March 2023 and March 2026 tests. This pattern suggests long stationary periods. While low mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential seizing of mechanical parts due to lack of regular movement. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension to ensure the recently replaced axle pins and bushes were fitted correctly and have not perished. Given the low mileage and long age, it is also vital to check for surface corrosion on brake discs and the condition of the tyres, which may rot despite having sufficient tread depth. Inspect the chassis for structural integrity, as older vehicles that sit for extended periods are susceptible to moisture retention and rust in hidden areas.
