FORD KA2018 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure in recent history was a non-mechanical adjustment issue regarding headlamp aim, which was corrected immediately to achieve passing. Prior to this, the vehicle consistently passed with minor wear-related faults, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within operational limits despite recurring advisories. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 46,969 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,871 miles per year. This low mileage is significantly below the typical national average for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with a 4,117-mile gap between March 2024 and 2025, and 9,035 miles thereafter. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to dry-rot or seal degradation if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record flags thin front brake pads across three consecutive tests in December 2022, 2024, and 2025. This recurring fault suggests the previous owner waited until components neared failure replacement rather than performing preventative maintenance. The 2024 advisory for a nearside front inner tyre worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which should be verified to ensure uneven tyre wear is not progressing.
