2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · R2 RHE

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health following its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 57,218 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, showing a clear improvement in presentation over the last two years. While the car failed its initial inspection in March 2025 due to a damaged tyre, the subsequent pass and the absence of any advisories in the current test indicate that the owner has addressed previous shortcomings and maintained the vehicle to a satisfactory standard. At 57,218 miles over nine years, the Ford Ka has covered an average of approximately 6,350 miles annually. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used for regular, short-to-medium distance commuting rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles added between each annual test. This level of use is typical for this class of vehicle and generally avoids the specific mechanical issues associated with long-term storage or excessive high-speed motorway wear. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the braking system, as these components have been the only items flagged in the recent history. Although the current MOT is clear, the recurring tyre-related advisories from 2024 and 2025 suggest the vehicle may have been driven on poor road surfaces or suffered from alignment issues in the past. Check the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns, which would indicate a need for a wheel alignment check. Inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as the low-mileage nature of the car can sometimes lead to binding calipers or seized sliding pins if the brakes are not worked regularly. The overall record is clean, but verifying that the suspension bushes and coil springs remain free of play is a sensible precaution for a vehicle of this age.
