2018 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SH67 OGJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest test in October 2025 with 45,152 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect-related failures. While the October 2025 failure revealed minor and consumable issues involving a TPMS fault, a wiper blade, and a dipped beam bulb, these were rectified within twenty-four hours. This suggests the current owner addresses MOT defects immediately to secure a passing certificate. At eight years old with 45,152 miles, the Ford Ka reflects a low annual mileage of approximately 5,600 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 7,600 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,353 miles covered in the following year. This low mileage profile generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system given the 2024 failure for a binding offside rear brake and the fluctuating service brakes on both rear wheels. While the vehicle passed in 2025, fluctuating brakes often indicate warped discs or sticking calipers which require continued monitoring. The recurring history of front tyres wearing unevenly or reaching limits across 2023 and 2024 suggests a persistent wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be inspected visually to prevent premature tyre replacement. The physical inspection should also verify the condition of the front suspension and wiper assembly, as the record highlights previous failures in these areas. Given the no structural corrosion issues recorded in the history, the standard check of the underbody and exhaust for rust is likely sufficient for this low-mileage vehicle. Ensure the TPMS system remains fully functional as per the most recent failure point to avoid future compliance issues.
