2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LO14 AEB

The 2014 Ford Ka demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-11-24 at 56,584 miles, which passed with no defects. The prior test on 2024-12-06 at 56,017 miles also passed, though a failed result on 2024-12-05 at 56,016 miles—immediately before the pass—raises questions about data accuracy or procedural anomalies. No defects were recorded across these tests, suggesting consistent compliance with safety standards. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring mechanical issues, with all tests concluding without advisories or failures. The recorded mileage of 56,584 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 4,715 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. Notably, the gap between the 2023-12-14 test (55,308 miles) and 2024-12-05 test (56,016 miles) spans 12 months with just 708 miles added, reinforcing the pattern of minimal wear. The MOT record lacks entries for consumables like tyres or wiper blades, which might suggest incomplete data or exceptional maintenance. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly around the chassis and underbody, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluids. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant scrutiny due to possible underuse-related stiffness. While no brake issues were flagged, the absence of tyre tread measurements in the record means a visual check for uneven wear or dry-rot is essential. The lack of structural defects in the MOT history is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age and usage pattern necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
