2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · BC68 UNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT trend is not stable; it is deteriorating. The most recent test in December 2025 was passed at 27,230 miles with no major defects, yet the history reveals a clear progression of wear that has not been addressed. The first MOT in December 2025 was passed at 27,230 miles, but by December 2024 the vehicle had already suffered a significant degradation of the front service brakes and offside rear tyres, both of which were noted as worn close to legal limits. This indicates that the vehicle has been in the UK market for over two years and that the lack of maintenance has allowed wear on critical components to accumulate, moving the vehicle from a safe condition to one that requires immediate inspection. The mileage pattern suggests that the owner has maintained a very low number of miles, averaging approximately 3,404 miles per year. While this is lower than typical for an 8-year-old Ford KA, the data is sparse and inconsistent. There are no gaps in the mileage or clear signs of rapid acceleration, suggesting the vehicle may have been driven for a long period or used in a way that minimizes wear. However, the discrepancy between the low mileage and the accumulated damage on the brakes and tyres implies that the owner has not been diligent about checking these components, a pattern that is likely to continue unless specific maintenance is performed. Given the recurring faults in the brake system, the offside rear tyres, and the thin brake pads, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person immediately. The most urgent concern is the binding condition of the rear service brakes, which is a structural risk rather than just a minor wear item. The front brake pads are also wearing thin, indicating that the friction material has lost its ability to grip effectively. Additionally, the worn-offside rear tyres and the offside rear nail in the tyre suggest that the suspension and alignment have been compromised, which could lead to a complete loss of handling and control. A buyer must verify that the brakes are fully adjusted, the suspension is properly aligned, and that the tyres have adequate tread before considering the vehicle for sale.
