2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LP63 AET

On 2026-01-27 at 73,709 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. This clear pass contrasts with multiple failures in the preceding three years, indicating an improving trend in overall maintenance. The car is twelve years old and has covered 73,709 miles, averaging about six thousand miles per year which is typical for its age. Mileage rose steadily from 56,355 miles in February 2021 to 67,274 miles in January 2023, then slowed to 73,709 miles by January 2026, suggesting reduced use or occasional standing in the most recent period. Despite the recent pass, the history shows repeated advisories and failures concerning front suspension ball joints, shock absorber oil misting, tyre wear and damage, thin brake pads, a missing rear exhaust clamp and an inoperative engine management light. A prospective buyer should verify that any worn ball joints have been replaced, check shock absorbers for leaks, measure tyre tread depth and inspect sidewalls for cracks or cuts, confirm brake pad thickness exceeds the legal minimum, ensure the exhaust system is securely clamped and free of corrosion, and confirm that the malfunction indicator lamp operates correctly.
