2015 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CV15 YBU

The 2015 Ford Ka presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 20 January 2026 at 67,570 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet, mirrored by the pass on 2 July 2025 at 67,211 miles, indicates the vehicle currently meets all safety and emissions standards without any outstanding mechanical or structural concerns. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or advisories suggesting a worsening condition. The mileage accumulation is notably low and consistent. Between the July 2024 test at 63,389 miles and the January 2026 test at 67,570 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 4,181 miles over roughly 18 months, equating to around 2,787 miles per year. This is significantly below the typical annual average of 6,143 miles implied by the vehicle's age. Such a pattern suggests the Ka has seen light, local use or extended periods of standing, which can reduce wear on consumables but may raise questions about the condition of components like brake discs, tyres, and rubber bushes that deteriorate with age and lack of use. The MOT record is remarkably sparse, with no defects noted across all five entries. The two failures on 26 June 2025 and 28 June 2024 both show no defects recorded, indicating they were likely administrative or procedural, such as an incorrect test category or a documentation issue, rather than mechanical faults. This clean history implies diligent upkeep, though the low mileage warrants a physical inspection of tyre date codes and sidewalls for perishing, as well as checking for surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components from infrequent use. A buyer should focus the in-person inspection on structural integrity and suspension components typical of a city car of this age. Examine the subframes, sills, and wheel arches for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored or used on salted roads. Check the condition of front suspension lower arms and rear beam bushes for cracking, and assess the brake calipers for binding, a common issue on lightly used vehicles. The absence of MOT defects is a strong positive, but a test drive over varied surfaces will confirm the absence of clunks or knocks that static checks might miss.
