2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CX18 VUS

The 2018 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 March 2026 at 28,443 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from March 2023 through March 2025 also show clean sheets. No advisories or recurring faults appear across the five-year span, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any examined interval. Recorded mileage sits at 28,443 against an eight-year age, averaging roughly 3,555 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 20,786 miles on 20 March 2023, rising to 23,334 by 20 March 2024, 25,959 by 25 March 2025, and 28,443 by 24 March 2026. The annual increments of around 2,500 to 3,000 miles confirm light use with no sudden accumulation. The clean record across all dates suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumable replacement. One anomaly warrants a check: the 20 March 2024 entry lists both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 23,334 with no defects recorded. This typically reflects an administrative re-test or data duplication rather than a mechanical fault, but the buyer should confirm with the DVLA that no hidden rejection exists on the system. Given the absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion, an in-person inspection should still verify tyre sidewall condition and underbody structural integrity for standing moisture. Low mileage combined with the clean history implies the Ka has led a sheltered life, yet prolonged inactivity can mask perished rubber or seized calipers not caught in a static test.
