2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FL14 AAX

The 2014 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 9 April 2026 at 29,428 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior tests on 6 March 2025 at 28,355 miles and 1 March 2023 at 25,761 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a twelve-year-old car. From the 1 March 2023 test at 25,761 miles to the 6 March 2025 test at 28,355 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,594 miles across two years. By the April 2026 test it reached 29,428 miles, averaging roughly 2,450 miles annually. The record is sparse but clean, with one anomalous failure on 25 March 2024 at 27,379 miles immediately followed by a pass at 27,380 miles the same day and no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely prolonged standing periods that accelerate perishing of rubber components and surface corrosion. The DVSA record flags no advisories on exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or binding calipers, yet twelve years of age warrants checking for hidden rust on sills and subframes not captured in the tests. The absence of recurring defects implies previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the trivial mileage gain between tests indicates the Ka spent extended intervals idle. Verify the 25 March 2024 failure reason via full DVSA documentation before purchase, and confirm tyre sidewall condition and wiper blade elasticity given intermittent use.
