2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · NU17 AAO

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in its mechanical presentation. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 47,518 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that previous issues identified in earlier years have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in 2025, suggesting the car is currently being maintained to a functional standard without immediate mechanical failures. The mileage profile is consistently low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,280 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns with a gap of 3,964 miles recorded between May 2025 and April 2026. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake seizing. The record shows no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation which would typically indicate high-stress or long-distance usage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and braking system. The 2024 test at 38,143 miles flagged fluctuating front brake discs and thin pads, while the 2021 and 2022 tests highlighted recurring inner-edge wear on the front tyres. These faults suggest a history of alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may not be fully rectified. While the latest MOT is clean, an inspector must check for uneven tyre wear and ensure the front brake discs are not thinned or warped to confirm the previous fluctuations were properly resolved.
