2015 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · MM64 ULN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 89,201 miles passed with advisories for an insecure battery and a fluctuating offside front service brake. While the car consistently passes, the presence of recurring component issues suggests that mechanical faults are only being addressed once they approach failure thresholds rather than during scheduled servicing. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging an average of approximately 8,100 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between annual tests, moving from 57,729 miles in 2021 to 89,201 miles in 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and rubber components, though it explains the age-related wear seen on consumable parts. A buyer should focus specifically on the front braking system due to the fluctuating offside brake noted in the 2025 test; this often indicates a warped rotor disc or a sticking caliper which requires inspection. The history also shows a pattern of tyre neglect, with the 2023 and 2024 tests flagging multiple tyres for edge wear and cracking, pointing to potential alignment issues or poor replacement intervals. Additionally, the engine oil leak recorded in 2021 should be verified to ensure it was not rectified or developed into a significant gasket failure as the vehicle nears the 90,000-mile mark.
