2015 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SE64 AVX

The 2025‑12‑04 MOT at 34,850 miles was passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle currently satisfies the minimum roadworthiness standards. A failure on the same date at 34,848 miles highlighted excessive wear of the offside front inner suspension arm pin or bush (5.3.4 (a) (i)), but the subsequent test shows the issue has been remedied, indicating an improving maintenance trend after the repair. The recorded mileage of 34,850 miles over an 11‑year lifespan averages just over 3,000 miles per year, well below the typical wear rate for a 2015 model. Gaps in the data are modest: the interval from the 2020 test at 26,131 miles to the 2021 test at 26,631 miles covers only 500 miles in a year, suggesting periods of limited use, while later years show steady accumulation without any abrupt mileage spikes. Recurring observations include progressive tyre wear on the near‑side front and off‑side rear positions, with tread depths recorded at or just above the 3 mm legal limit in 2021, 2022 and 2023, pointing to possible alignment or suspension issues that merit close inspection. Front brake discs displayed pitting or scoring in 2020 and pads were noted as wearing thin, indicating a need for a detailed brake system assessment, while a defective near‑side front wiper blade was recorded in 2021. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension arm bush and pin for play or corrosion, verify the condition of the front brake disc and pad thickness, assess tyre wear patterns for unevenness, and check the off‑side rear tyre condition and any signs of structural rust or exhaust degradation.
