2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · DX18 USS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean result in its latest inspection. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 25,960 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the previous issues have been addressed. This transition from a failure to two consecutive clean passes suggests that the mechanical and structural integrity of the car is currently maintained to a passing standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,245 miles per year. Between February 2024 and January 2026, the car covered only 4,878 miles, showing a consistent pattern of light use. While this low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber seals or corrosion on brake surfaces if the vehicle is not driven regularly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, given that the record noted thin front brake pads in February 2024 at 21,082 miles. Although the car has passed since then, the state of the pads and the condition of the discs should be verified. The failure in February 2023 due to a structural lump in the offside front tyre highlights the need to check the remaining tyres for bulges or flat spotting, which are common in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
