2015 FORD KA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in late July 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a recent failure just three days prior to that successful test. The fractured nearside front coil spring indicates that the owner responded immediately to a safety-critical fault identified by the tester. Prior to this incident, the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, suggesting a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. At 93,985 miles, the Ford Ka has aged at a consistent rate of approximately 8,500 miles per year. The data shows regular usage patterns between July 2024 and July 2025, where the car covered 5,160 miles in exactly twelve months. This steady mileage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished seals. The gap between the November 2022 test and the 2023 test is a minor irregularity but does not obscure the overall usage profile. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension, as the broken coil spring in 2025 may indicate that other components are reaching the end of their functional life. Check for excessive wear on the suspension bushes and shock absorbers to ensure no further structural fatigue is present. The 2024 advisories regarding an insecure battery and restricted view through the wipers are minor, but the buyer should verify that the battery is now securely fastened and the wiper blades clear the glass without any obstruction. Given the vehicle's age, a close look at the chassis for emerging corrosion around the sills and wheel arches remains essential, as these are common failure points for this specific model.
