2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AB14 MUX

The 2018 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 66,310 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults across the visible history. The vehicle has cleared every annual examination since November 2022 without mechanical or structural concerns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,289 miles, typical for an eight-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 38,241 miles in November 2022, 50,182 miles by December 2023, 57,279 miles in October 2024, and 66,310 miles by October 2025. A failed test on 7 December 2023 at 50,182 miles appears anomalous, as the same-day retest passed with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The clean run since then implies consistent basic upkeep by the previous owner. Given the absence of flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Standing intervals between tests were short, so consumable wear on tyres and wiper blades is unlikely to be advanced, but a visual check of exhaust emissions and binding calipers remains prudent. The sparse, defect-free record offers no recurring problem trend to track. A pre-purchase check should confirm the December 2023 failure cause through DVSA detail, though the immediate pass indicates no lasting defect.
