2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · GK17 AEF

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 16 March 2026 at 112,687 miles passed without defects, indicating it remains roadworthy. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring issues or advisories in the past three tests. However, the 2025 test shows a discrepancy where the same mileage was recorded as both a pass and a fail on the same date, suggesting a potential administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. This anomaly should be investigated further to confirm the vehicle's true condition. The mileage pattern is unusual for a 9-year-old vehicle. The most recent test at 112,687 miles represents an average of 12,521 miles per year, which is unusually high. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where mileage increased by 18,044 miles in just over a year, suggests either significant use or a long period of inactivity. Similarly, the 2024 to 2025 test shows a 16,481-mile increase in just over a year. This erratic pattern may indicate inconsistent ownership or maintenance. The sparse MOT history, with only five tests over nine years, limits the ability to assess long-term trends. A buyer should inspect the suspension and steering components, as the high mileage suggests potential wear on bushings, ball joints, and tie rods. The brakes should also be thoroughly checked, as the vehicle's age and mileage could indicate wear on brake discs, pads, and calipers. Additionally, the exhaust system and emissions controls should be examined, as the vehicle's age and mileage may require replacement of the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors. Finally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches.
