2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FL14 ADU

The 2014 Ford Ka holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trajectory, confirmed by the 13 January 2026 test at 111,294 miles passing with no defects logged. Earlier inspections revealed the same clean outcome aside from anomalous failures. On 10 January 2024 at 69,114 miles the tester issued a fail yet recorded no defects, followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. The 8 January 2025 examination at 90,274 miles repeated this fail-without-defects then pass sequence. Such duplication points to procedural or administrative irregularities rather than declining mechanical health. Odometer progression against the vehicle's twelve-year lifespan shows a pronounced recent acceleration. Between the January 2024 reading of 69,114 miles and January 2025 at 90,274 miles the car covered 21,160 miles in a year. The subsequent twelve months to January 2026 at 111,294 miles added 21,020 miles. Each span nearly doubles the circa 9,274 miles per annum average derived from total mileage. The record remains sparse and unblemished by advisories on tyres, wipers or emissions, suggesting no documented neglect of minor consumables during the monitored period. Prospective buyers must still scrutinise typical high-mileage wear points in person. The MOT history never cited suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust anomalies, but Ford Ka chassis often suffer rear axle corrosion and degraded front suspension arms under such usage. Inspect subframe and sill structural integrity directly. Confirm the basis for the two same-day fails via DVSA records to ensure no omitted fault logging. Measure brake disc wear and assess clutch operation despite the absence of recorded advisories.
