2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · NJ67 AED

The 2017 Ford Ka demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-10-02 MOT at 39,282 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent PASS results across five consecutive tests since 2022, with no structural, braking, or emissions failures. The 2022-10-05 test initially showed a failure, but no defects were logged, suggesting either a data anomaly or a test that did not identify issues. Since 2023, the car has passed all inspections without recorded faults, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. The vehicle’s mileage of 39,282 miles over nine years equates to an average of 4,365 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical annual usage. This low mileage suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion. Notably, the 2022-10-05 test recorded 22,602 miles, followed by a 7,408-mile increase to 30,010 miles by 2023-10-10, reflecting a sharp rise in usage. Subsequent tests show gradual growth, with 5,086 miles added between 2023 and 2024, and 4,196 miles between 2024 and 2025. This pattern implies sporadic but manageable wear. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, as low mileage can mask wear in bushes or coil springs. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude inspecting for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may develop over time. Corrosion risks persist due to potential storage periods, particularly in underbody areas. The exhaust system and emissions controls should also be scrutinized, as prolonged inactivity may affect catalytic converter efficiency. Overall, the MOT history confirms no critical issues, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm component integrity.
