2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · HS55 JSS

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 4 July 2025 at 21,704 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety standards. This clean record across the last five tests suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained or has remained kept in an environment that prevented significant mechanical degradation or environmental corrosion. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,412 miles per year over its nine-year life. Between the January 2022 test at 5,693 miles and the July 2025 test at 21,704 miles, the car covered only 16,011 miles. A notable gap between the February 2023 and July 2023 tests shows the vehicle was used for short distances during that period. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it increases the risks associated with long-term periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common with low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. Check the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as the rubber may age despite having significant tread depth. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface rust or binding, which often occurs when the vehicle is not frequently driven. Additionally, verify the condition of the rubber bushes and hoses for signs of dry rot or peraking, as these materials perish over time regardless of the distance driven.
