2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AE18 MMU

The 2018 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 23,413 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. Annual mileage sits well below typical averages for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 6,922 miles in February 2022, 8,356 in February 2023, 12,235 in February 2024, 16,957 in February 2025, and 23,413 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 2,900 miles per year with no sudden accumulation spikes. The clean record across all five tests shows no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, which implies the previous keeper carried out basic upkeep and the car avoided heavy use or neglect. A buyer should still arrange a physical inspection despite the spotless history. Low mileage combined with long standing periods can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to crack through age rather than wear, and underbody corrosion to develop unseen. The MOT does not strip components, so check the condition of brake discs, coil springs, and suspension arms directly. Given the clean DVSA data and light usage, the Ka shows no recorded mechanical or structural risks. Verify service history and confirm the car has not been idle for extended stretches that could hide perished rubbers or flat-spotted tyres.
