2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · EO64 BZW

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend despite minor age-related wear. The most recent test in September 2025 at 33,208 miles identified an advisory for light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of a seal degradation that will require monitoring in future inspections to prevent a complete loss of damping efficiency. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. The data shows a consistent and slow-growth pattern, moving from 24,431 miles in 2021 to 33,208 miles in 2025. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle has likely seen minimal mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain components. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related perish of rubber components and potential corrosion due to long periods of inactivity rather than wear from mileage alone. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front suspension to determine if the misting has progressed to a significant leak. Given the history of tyre-related advisories, including a cut sidewall in 2022 and uneven wear in 2024, the current set of tyres should be checked for consistent tread depth and potential alignment issues. The underbody should also be inspected for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these areas are common failure points for this model regardless of the low distance driven.
