2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CE14 FSD

This Ford KA has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its most recent MOT cycle, passing all five annual tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The April 2026 test at 47,077 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards, though the absence of any historical faults means no long-term trends—either worsening or improving—can be observed. The lack of advisories or minor issues suggests either meticulous maintenance or a vehicle that has not yet encountered significant wear beyond standard consumables. The mileage progression reveals unusually light usage for a 12-year-old car, averaging just 3,923 miles annually. The gap between tests is regular, with no sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity—from 34,328 miles in April 2022 to 47,077 miles today, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 12,749 miles in four years. While this low mileage typically indicates reduced wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain components, it may also imply extended periods of non-use, potentially accelerating degradation in fluids, battery health, or rubber seals. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that aren’t captured in the MOT, such as the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or excessive play, particularly around the rear axle where binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear could develop over time. The brakes themselves have not been flagged, but a thorough check of the rear caliper pistons and brake pads—especially if the vehicle has stood for extended periods—is advisable. Corrosion should also be assessed at the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as low mileage doesn’t preclude rust progression in exposed areas. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter or oxygen sensor failures, while not MOT-critical, can arise unexpectedly in lightly used vehicles.
