2017 FORD KA1.2L Petrol

The 2017 Ford Ka presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 24 October 2025 at 43,238 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Each annual examination from the 20 October 2021 test at 27,573 miles through to 2025 delivered a pass with zero advisories, showing the previous keeper maintained statutory compliance and the vehicle developed no recurring mechanical faults. The mileage pattern indicates light use for a car of this age. The odometer climbed from 27,573 miles at the October 2021 test to 31,574 miles in October 2022, then 35,389 miles in October 2023, 39,293 miles in October 2024 and 43,238 miles in October 2025, averaging near 3,900 miles per year against the approximate 4,804-mile norm. No significant gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the sequence; the history stays sparse but entirely free of flagged wear, implying the car saw gentle commuting and timely testing. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection of components that MOT passes within limits may overlook. The tester logged no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, fractured coil springs, binding calipers, scored brake discs or elevated exhaust emissions across the record, yet nine years of age can foster hidden structural integrity issues around sills and suspension mounts. Direct examination of rear brake freedom after standing, tyre sidewall perishing and wiper blade condition remains prudent. The unbroken pass sequence suggests the former owner prioritised basic upkeep and presented the car for repair before each deadline. Low annual mileage often conceals dried crank seals or flat-spotted tyres from storage, so verify the service book for oil changes absent from MOT data and confirm underbody shielding remains intact.
