2013 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · NG13 AAN

The 2013 Ford Ka stands as roadworthy following its most recent MOT test on 8 April 2025 at 66,652 miles, some fifteen months before the present date, where the DVSA examiner passed the vehicle with no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the five-year recorded history, showing no recurring faults or escalating wear. From the 30 April 2021 examination at 62,047 miles through to the 8 April 2025 test at 66,652 miles, the odometer advanced just 4,605 miles, an average of around 1,150 miles per year. Against the car's thirteen-year age and total 66,652 miles, this confirms exceptionally light use, likely short urban trips or extended periods off the road. The sequence of annual passes with zero defects suggests the former keeper maintained the car to a standard that pre-empted any test failures, though the sparse mechanical detail means consumable condition between tests remains unseen. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes and coil springs, as low mileage and standing can accelerate rubber perishing absent from MOT logs. The tester noted no corrosion or structural integrity issues, yet sill and subframe rust often evades detection during a brief test. Examine brake discs for scoring and calipers for binding after long idle spells, and confirm exhaust emissions stay compliant on the ageing petrol engine. Despite the flawless record, pristine MOT outcomes do not nullify age-related degradation. Prior to purchase, an independent mechanic should assess drivetrain seals and tyre sidewall condition, since these components degrade with time rather than distance. The clean history implies careful ownership, but physical verification remains essential on a low-use thirteen-year-old hatchback.
