2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CF68 EHW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of minor mechanical degradation compared to its earlier history. The most recent test in September 2025 at 22,289 miles identified a fluctuating rear service brake. While the vehicle passed the test, this indication suggests a developing issue with brake caliper operation or disc condition that was not present during the clean 2022 and 2023 inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,786 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at just 416 miles and the 2024 test at 16,844 miles, the car covered a steady but small distance of over 5,000 miles. This low usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to rubber-based components like suspension bushes and brake seals becoming brittle due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the fluctuation is not a precursor to a seized piston or a thinned disc. The 2024 test also flagged an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit with uneven wear, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components. Given the low mileage, verify the chassis for surface corrosion or rust-related damage, as stationary vehicles can accumulate moisture more quickly than those driven regularly.
