2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · HT14 MXG

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 11 October 2022 at 36,413 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the car was in a roadworthy condition at that time, but the lack of any tests between late 2022 and July 2026 means the current mechanical state is unknown. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,034 miles per year. Between 6 October 2021 and 11 October 2022, the odometer increased by 5,918 miles. However, the vehicle has recorded zero mileage increase since the October 2022 test. This suggests the car has been stationary for nearly four years, which presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritise an inspection of components affected by long-term standing. Brake discs often develop surface corrosion or seize, and binding calipers are common in vehicles left idle. Check the condition of the tyres for flat spots or perishing, as rubber degrades regardless of mileage. The battery and fuel system should also be verified, as long periods of inactivity can lead to cell failure or fuel varnish. Given the clean record in 2021 and 2022, there are no recurring mechanical trends such as suspension bush failure or structural corrosion to flag. The primary concern is the four-year gap in testing. A fresh MOT is essential to ensure the vehicle has not developed leaks or seized components during its period of dormancy.
