2019 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · EF19 MHA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards deteriorating maintenance of consumable components. While the car passed the August 2025 test at 22,037 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding tyre condition. Specifically, three sidewalls showed signs of cracking or perishing and the nearside front tyre was worn to the legal limit. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically functional, the rubber components are suffering from age rather than high mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,148 miles per year. The data shows consistent, slow-interval usage, moving from 14,733 miles in March 2022 to 22,037 miles in August 2025. This low-use profile explains the lack of significant mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often correlates with the premature degradation of tyres and rubber seals, which aligns with the perishing sidewalls noted in the 2025 record. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre set, as the 2025 record confirms an need for replacement due to dry rot. The 2022 advisory regarding a brake slack adjuster at 16,302 miles indicates that the braking system may experience seizing or uneven adjustment during periods of inactivity, which is common in cars that sit for long durations. Given the low mileage, the buyer must also check for surface corrosion on brake discs and suspension components, as vehicles that are rarely driven often accumulate more environmental oxidation than those used regularly.
