2016 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · NJ65 BGF

This Ford KA has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its most recent MOT cycle, with the last test on 4 September 2025 passing without any defects or advisories. The absence of failures or warnings in the past three tests—including the current one—indicates a stable maintenance record, though the record’s sparsity means no deeper mechanical history is visible. The most recent test was conducted just over a year ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though buyers should verify whether the vehicle has been driven regularly since then. The recorded mileage of 29,588 miles at the time of the last test suggests unusually light usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging around 2,959 miles per year. This low accumulation implies prolonged periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health due to lack of movement. The gap between the January 2023 and September 2023 tests—where two MOTs were conducted within months—does not align with typical mileage accumulation and may indicate the vehicle was stationary or used intermittently during that period. Given the lack of recorded defects, no major recurring issues are evident, but a buyer should still scrutinise critical areas during an inspection. Focus on suspension components, particularly the condition of bushes and coil springs, as prolonged standing can lead to premature degradation. Examine the brake system for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Structural integrity should also be assessed for signs of corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as low mileage does not guarantee rust-free conditions. Finally, verify the battery’s state of charge and check for fluid leaks in the engine bay, as inactivity can exacerbate electrical and fluid-related failures.
