FORD KA2017 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean most recent MOT result. The test conducted on July 7, 2025 at 25,895 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a successful rectification in April 2024 where the vehicle passed immediately after an initial failure, suggesting the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to maintain a passing grade. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,877 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 8,774 miles and March 2023 at 17,597 miles, the car covered fewer than 9,000 miles in over seventeen months. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the significant gaps in time between tests suggest the vehicle may sit for extended periods. Long periods of inactivity can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or seizing of mechanical parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage storage issues. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Examine the suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, which occurs due to age regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the Ford Ka, inspect the chassis for early signs of structural rust, ensuring that the low mileage has not masked environmental corrosion over the years.
