2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AE68 VJC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 16,746 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This stability across the last five years suggests a well-maintained example where mechanical and structural components have not yet reached a point of significant failure under standard DVSA scrutiny. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 7,835 miles, indicating very short-distance use or long periods of stationary. The gap of 5,339 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows a trend of minimal annual usage. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks related to ageing rubber-based components and lack of fluid circulation. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage standing. Check the brake discs and calipers for signs of dry rot or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to seized pistons or surface corrosion. Examine the suspension bushes and tyre boots for cracking, as these materials degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verify the manufacture date of the tyres, as aged rubber can become brittle before the tread depth reaches legal limits.
