2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · NL17 FBA

The 2017 Ford KA presents a stable and currently sound mechanical condition, culminating in a clean pass on 20 March 2026 at 65,291 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is highly positive, showing no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the available history. A clean MOT record spanning from June 2024 to March 2026 indicates a vehicle that has required no significant remedial work to meet roadworthiness standards. The owner has evidently kept the car in a compliant state, with no advisories or defects flagged during the most recent assessments. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,255 miles annually. Between the June 2024 test at 43,020 miles and the June 2025 test at 58,579 miles, the car covered 15,559 miles, indicating a period of regular, higher-than-average use. However, the mileage increased by only 40 miles between the February 2026 failure and the March 2026 pass, suggesting the vehicle has seen very light recent use or has been standing for extended periods. The data is sparse but clean, showing no anomalies in the odometer readings themselves. Despite the clean record, the two instances of failing the MOT without any defects recorded—on 25 February 2026 and 16 June 2025—warrant scrutiny. A failure with no listed defects typically points to an administrative issue, a lack of fuel or oil for the emissions test, or an abandoned test due to a sudden major fault rectified before the retest. A buyer should verify the reason for these failures directly with the seller. Given the low recent mileage and potential for standing, inspect the tyres for flat-spotting and perishing, and check the brake discs for surface corrosion that can develop when a car sits idle. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or suspension wear, a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension bushes remains prudent to confirm the car's condition matches its clean paperwork.
