3 What this car’s MOT record points to

Read from the last two years of this car's own test record, grouped by area. Each line quotes what the tester wrote and the date of the test.

Major item, 11 Sept 2025: Nearside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak. The car passed a retest the same day.

Typical UK garage price for coil spring replacement: £175–£400. Typical UK garage prices for each job, from published UK repair-cost guides, checked September 2026; not a quote.

No recent issue

You will review your order before paying, and you will be asked to sign in first. Data provided by Experian.

4 How it compares with other 2015 Kas

Against every Ford Ka first used in 2015 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (13,067 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

Fails, first attempts3 of 926.4% of first testsLower than the group figure

  1. On this carSuspension & steering. major item recorded in the last two years (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025). Worth looking behind each wheel with a torch at the coil springs and bushes, and listening for knocks over bumps on a test drive.
  2. Nothing recentLamps & visibility. A top failure area for 2015 Kas. Recorded on this car in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, nothing in the last two years. Worth asking someone to watch while you work every lamp and indicator, and checking the wipers clear the screen cleanly.
  3. Nothing recentTyres. A top failure area for 2015 Kas. Recorded on this car in 2018, 2019, nothing in the last two years. Worth checking the tread depth across the whole width of each tyre, and the sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 6 October 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
