2015 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CE65 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in its most recent inspection. Despite an initial failure in February 2026 at 42,927 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded on the immediate retest. This indicates that any previous mechanical or safety issues were promptly addressed and rectified. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record of passes across the last three successful testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 36,870 miles and the September 2025 test at 42,270 miles, the car covered 5,400 miles, while the recent interval of just 657 miles leading to February 2026 suggests very limited recent usage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion in brake systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage, such as dry-rotted tyres, suspension bushes, and perished brake hoses. Given the intermittent usage pattern, it is vital to check for binding brake calipers and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed excessive moisture. The MOT history does not flag any recurring structural rust, but a close inspection of the underbody remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying corrosion caused during periods of inactivity.
