2015 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AP64 FDG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a history of immediate re-test failures. The most recent MOT on 16 December 2022 at 78,765 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the car met all legal standards at that time. The recurring failures in December 2021 and 2022 appear to be minor issues that were rectified quickly rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,160 miles per year. Between December 2020 at 65,903 miles and December 2021 at 72,540 miles, the car covered 6,637 miles, followed by another 6,262 miles leading up to the 2022 test. This steady, low mileage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for components like seals and rubber bushings that can suffer from dry rot if a vehicle is left stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points inherent to the Ford Ka, as the MOT record does not highlight specific recurring faults like binding calipers or suspension play. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential. Since the last recorded test was over three years ago today, the buyer must verify the current condition of the brake pads, tyres, and fluid levels to ensure no significant deterioration has developed since the vehicle has been off the testing schedule.
