FORD KA2017 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 39,131 miles resulted in no defects recorded, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This streak suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,348 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 21,662 miles, showing a consistent annual usage pattern of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles. This low-frequency use generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or surface corrosion which is not always captured during a stationary test. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults or failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use. Inspect the undercarriage for perished suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these parts can age over time regardless of distance driven. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which frequently occurs on vehicles that are not driven enough to clear the rotors. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for sidew cracking, as tread depth may remain sufficient while the rubber has hardened out.
