2021 Ford Unknown 2.0L Diesel · PO21 KBK

The vehicle presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 May 2026 at 8,421 miles with zero defects recorded. The only blemish in the entire history occurred during the 3 June 2024 test at 6,881 miles, where both the nearside and offside headlamp aim were flagged as too high under item 4.1.2 (a). That defect was rectified on the same day, as the subsequent entry for 3 June 2024 at the same mileage shows a pass with no further issues. No recurring mechanical, structural, or braking faults appear anywhere in the record. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2021-registered vehicle. Across roughly five years, the odometer has advanced just 8,421 miles, averaging approximately 1,684 miles per year. The intervals between tests show modest and consistent accumulation: 744 miles between the May 2025 and May 2026 tests, and 796 miles between the June 2024 and May 2025 tests. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the data. Such low annual usage typically limits wear on consumables, but prolonged periods of standing can introduce its own concerns. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that sit unused for extended periods can develop flat-spotted tyres, seized brake calipers, or deteriorated rubber suspension bushes and dust covers even when no fault has yet triggered a tester advisory. The nearside and offside headlamp aim defects from June 2024, while minor and promptly fixed, warrant a quick static check that the beam pattern remains correctly aligned and that no suspension sag has crept in since. Tyre sidewall condition and date codes deserve close attention, as a set of five-year-old tyres may look serviceable but could be approaching replacement age regardless of remaining tread depth. Underneath, a brief inspection for surface corrosion on the subframe, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points is sensible, particularly if the vehicle has been stored on damp ground or used for short, cold-start journeys that accelerate moisture ingress. The MOT history gives no indication of structural or mechanical neglect, but the record alone cannot substitute for a hands-on assessment of a car that has covered fewer than 1,700 miles a year.
