2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · HV64 AEA

The 2014 Ford Ka is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑04 recorded a pass with no defects at 114,820 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and improving after a single failure noted on 2022‑12‑05 at 111,124 miles, which appears to have been rectified on the same day as a subsequent pass. No recurring faults have appeared in the four‑year inspection window, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage accumulation over the inspection period shows modest growth of roughly 1,200 miles per year: from 111,124 miles in December 2022 to 112,362 miles in December 2023, 113,645 miles in December 2024, and finally 114,820 miles in December 2025. This pattern contradicts the typical 9,500 miles‑annual estimate for a 12‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting periods of low utilisation or storage. The record is clean with no gaps that would indicate unrecorded servicing. A prospective buyer should inspect the braking system closely; even though the latest test passed, examine pad thickness, disc condition, and caliper operation for binding. Suspension components such as rear bushing condition, coil spring integrity, and shock absorber function merit a physical check, as these parts are prone to fatigue after extensive mileage. Steering linkage wear and tyre tread depth should be verified, given the vehicle’s age and the modest mileage history. Bodywork inspection is essential; look for rust spots around wheel arches, underbody panels, and door sills, as a 12‑year‑old model can develop corrosion despite low annual mileage. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or rust, and the battery and electrical connections checked for deterioration. Overall, the MOT history reflects a well‑maintained car with no persistent defects, but a thorough pre‑purchase walk‑around remains advisable to confirm the absence of hidden wear.
