2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · BC17 TLZ

The 2026‑04‑09 MOT at 23,715 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy as of the latest test and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage trajectory shows a steady rise from 14,189 miles in the 2022‑10‑20 test to 23,715 miles in the 2026‑04‑09 test, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 2017 manufacture date and suggests consistent, light‑to‑moderate use rather than prolonged standing; the intervals between tests are regular, with no significant gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore focus on the brake system, particularly the front pads noted as wearing thin at 19,879 miles in the 2024‑10‑25 test, and verify the condition of the discs, calipers and brake lines for any binding or uneven wear; inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers is advisable given the vehicle’s age and the lack of recent suspension‑related advisories. Tyre tread depth, especially on the nearside front tyre that showed outer‑edge wear in 2022, and the integrity of the wheel arches for rust or corrosion should also be examined, along with the mounting points of the child seats to confirm they do not impede full inspection of the adult belt. Overall, the MOT history reflects a well‑maintained example with no recurring serious faults, but a thorough physical inspection covering brakes, suspension, tyres and structural areas remains essential before purchase.
