2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SW17 AAN

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean record across the last five inspections. The most recent test conducted on 24 March 2026 at 46,182 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently met minimum safety standards without flagging the common mechanical failures or structural weaknesses often seen in Ford models of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,131 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage between the 2022 test at 20,625 miles and the 2026 test at 46,182 miles, with annual increments generally staying between 6,000 and 7,000 miles. This pattern suggests the car was likely used for short urban trips rather than long-distance commuting, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can lead to less brake system cleaning compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT history is devoid of faults, a buyer should still inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary. Check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which show signs of cracking due to age rather than distance. Additionally, examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting if the vehicle sat between, as the record did not flag any binding calipers or uneven wear in the recent tests.
