2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SA68 YFE

The vehicle presents an indeterminate roadworthiness status due to a significant gap in testing data. The last recorded MOT test on 25 October 2021 at 57,175 miles passed with no defects, indicating the car was in good condition at that specific moment. However, because no tests have been logged for nearly five years since, it is impossible to confirm the current mechanical integrity or determine if the maintenance trend remained stable since that final inspection. The recorded mileage of 57,175 miles reflects an average usage of approximately 7,147 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns for an eight-year-old vehicle. The lack of entries following the October 2021 test suggests the car has either sat stationary for long periods or has operated outside of the legal testing framework. Long periods of standing often lead to specific issues such as flat-spotted, perished rubber, and seized brake calipers, which are not captured by historical mileage figures alone. A physical inspection must prioritize components susceptible to age-related degradation. A buyer should thoroughly check the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches, as these models are prone to rust over time. Given the elapsed time since the last professional check, the inspector should examine the suspension bushes for cracks, the condition of the coil springs, and the integrity of the fluid hoses. The brake discs and pads should be inspected for heavy pitting or corrosion that may occur if the vehicle remained unused during the intervals between tests.
