2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LS64 KLM

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-09 (35,070 miles) recorded suspension and corrosion issues, including worn rear suspension bushes and corroded rear coil springs. These defects were also noted in the 2024-12-18 MOT (34,831 miles), indicating a recurring pattern of wear in suspension components and corrosion in the rear suspension system. No new major safety issues were added in the latest test, but the persistence of these defects suggests ongoing maintenance needs. A consistent trend shows corrosion in rear coil springs since 2024, alongside suspension bush wear since 2024. Shock absorber oil misting was recorded in 2023 and 2024 but not in 2025, which may indicate repairs or intermittent issues. Tyre wear and brake pad thickness were addressed by 2024, with no further mentions of these problems. The pattern suggests stable but non-urgent concerns, though corrosion and suspension wear could worsen over time. The vehicle’s low mileage (2,922 miles per year) raises questions about usage. While this could reflect light driving, it also implies potential periods of inactivity, which may contribute to corrosion and component degradation. Lower mileage typically reduces wear on consumables but does not eliminate risks from environmental factors or storage conditions.
