2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AF14 ORV

The 2014 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 62,855 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024 at 57,542 miles, June 2023 at 56,063 miles, and June 2022 at 47,551 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The recorded mileage of 62,855 over roughly twelve years equates to about 5,238 miles per year, which is low for the age. The car covered just 1,512 miles between the June 2022 and June 2023 tests, then only 1,479 miles to July 2024, and 5,313 miles to June 2025. Such low annual use with a single recent year showing higher accumulation suggests long periods of standing earlier in life, a pattern that can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. No advisories across five consecutive tests means the tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, though the absence of minor wear notes such as tyre or wiper replacement hints at light usage rather than intensive upkeep. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural points and brake calipers for binding after standing, and verify the June 2025 failure reason with DVSA given the zero-defect entry. Low mileage alone does not exempt the Ka from age-related rust on sills and subframes.
