2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · MW14 AYZ

A consistent history of clean MOT certificates defines this vehicle's recorded roadworthiness, with no defects or advisories noted across the last four consecutive annual inspections. This trend of passing without any recorded failures or warnings is confirmed by the most recent test on 26 August 2025, which shows a completely clear record. The absence of any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting suggests that the components subject to mandatory testing have met the required standards throughout this period. The vehicle's usage profile is characterized by low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,345 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. With a total recorded distance of 52,142 miles, the accumulation is significantly lower than the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of usage often results in less wear on high-friction components such as brake discs, pads, and tyre treads, as well as less frequent stress on the drivetrain and suspension linkages. However, such low annual mileage can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may affect the condition of rubber seals and various fluid properties. Because the MOT history shows no specific mechanical defects or advisories, there are no documented issues with components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake pipes to scrutinise. On a test drive, focus should be directed toward checking for any signs of uneven tyre wear or steering pull, which could indicate alignment issues not captured in the MOT. It is also prudent to listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, as well as checking for any unusual vibrations through the brake pedal during deceleration. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the underside for any signs of surface corrosion or fluid leaks is advisable, as these are not always captured if they do not reach the threshold of an MOT failure. Pay close attention to the engine bay for any signs of oil misting around gaskets and check that the exhaust system is secure and free from excessive corrosion. While the official records are clear, the low-use pattern warrants a close look at the condition of rubber components like drive shafts and hoses to ensure they have not perished due to age rather than wear.
