Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 10 July 2025 at 74,836 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last three years, indicating the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 4,677 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between July 2023 and July 2024, where the odometer rose from 59,246 to 66,557 miles. Conversely, the vehicle covered fewer miles in the following year, adding 8,279 miles by the July 2025 test. This fluctuation suggests varied usage patterns but no erratic spikes that would indicate excessive wear. The absence of any advisories or defects since July 2023 is unusual for a sixteen year old Ford Ka. While the record is clean, a buyer should specifically inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to inactivity. Verify the condition of the tyre treads and brake discs during a physical inspection. The MOT history shows no recorded failures for consumables, but the lack of data on these items means their current state remains unknown. A manual check of the fluid levels and a test of the electrical systems will confirm if the mechanical health matches the clean DVSA record.
