2015 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SW15 AAZ

The 2015 Ford Ka is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-12 confirming no defects at 17,288 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past two years, as the vehicle passed all tests from 2024-02-09 to 2025-08-12, with no recorded failures. However, a 2024-02-08 test at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about data consistency, as no defects were logged for either entry. This suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues, though no structural or mechanical risks were flagged in the valid tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 17,288 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 1,572 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers through dryness or corrosion. The MOT history shows sparse testing, with gaps of up to 14 months between inspections, and no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation. The 2022-12-15 test at 11,258 miles and the 2024-02-09 test at 12,811 miles suggest gradual, uneven usage rather than consistent wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not eliminate the need to check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may develop without frequent use. Structural integrity should also be verified, as prolonged inactivity increases rust risk, particularly in underbody components. While the MOT history shows no major issues, the lack of recent testing and inconsistent data warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical and corrosion-free condition.
