FORD KA2014 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2014 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 24 December 2025 at 48,625 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 21 December 2021 through to that 2025 test returned a pass with no advisories logged, showing the vehicle has avoided any recurring mechanical or structural faults across a four-year span. The recorded odometer readings trace a low-use pattern consistent with the car's twelve-year age. The tester noted 38,586 miles in December 2021, rising to 41,009 by November 2022, 43,510 in December 2023, 46,338 in December 2024, and 48,625 in December 2025. That equates to roughly 2,500 to 3,000 miles added each year, well below the national average. The clean record shows no gaps or sudden mileage jumps, though standing time between short trips can still encourage corrosion or perished rubber that a pass certificate will not always expose. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension mounting points, since the MOT history shows no rust or structural advisories but low-mileage Fords of this era are prone to hidden underbody corrosion. The absence of brake, coil spring, or bush complaints across the record suggests the previous owner kept consumables in order, yet the tester never flagged tyre or wiper wear, so verify those items physically before purchase. Given the spotless test lineage and light annual use, the Ka reflects careful ownership rather than deferred upkeep. The lack of any failed tests or repeated advisories removes the usual red flags around binding calipers or exhaust emissions, leaving only age-related perishables as the realistic risk on a car now over a decade old.
