2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · EU14 SWV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. Although the most recent test on January 26, 2026, at 43,603 miles recorded a failure, the immediate retest on the same day passed without defects indicating a minor issue was rectified quickly. Since 2023, the car has consistently passed without advisories, suggesting a consistent standard of upkeep regarding mechanical and structural integrity. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,634 miles per year. Between February 2023 and January 2026, the car covered only 6,970 miles, confirming a pattern of light usage or long-term storage over the last three-year period. While this low mileage typically reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks associated with age-related decay, such as the degradation of rubber-based components or the oxidation of metal surfaces due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage, older vehicles. Specifically, check the brake discs and calipers for pitting or binding from surface corrosion, as infrequent use can seize moving pistons. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, inspect the chassis for structural rust around the sills and floor pans to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage.
