2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FM66 NOU

The 2017 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 22,028 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive annual passes with clean sheets. The DVSA record shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the full history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits at roughly 2,448 miles per year against nine years of age, with the odometer reading 22,028 miles at the latest test. The record charts steady low use: 13,950 miles on 16 February 2023, 16,393 on 19 February 2024, 19,078 on 19 February 2025, and 22,028 on 19 February 2026. A failed entry appears on 16 February 2023 at 13,950 miles yet carries no recorded defects, with a passing certificate issued the same day, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No gaps or sudden accumulation are present. Given the clean MOT lineage, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion to pursue. The sparse record offers little evidence of deferred consumable care but equally no warning of underlying wear. Low standing mileage can still allow tyre sidewall cracking, stale brake fluid, and seized handbrake mechanisms that a static test will not expose. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm tyre condition, brake fluid age, and freedom of the rear brakes after prolonged light use. The absence of advisories means no recurring problem trend exists, yet the vehicle's low annual cover warrants a check for moisture in sills and underbody corrosion from inactivity rather than road wear.
