2015 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · VM14 CON

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing wear-related issues. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 43,609 miles resulted in several advisories regarding worn front suspension arm bushes and both front tyres, the car nonetheless passed. This represents a departure from the clean record of December 2024, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their service life despite the relatively low overall mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old Ford Ka, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between August 2022 at 24,400 miles and December 2023 at 28,179 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of over 15,000 miles in the final two years months. This low-frequency usage often leads to age degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which aligns with the pitted and scored brake discs noted in late 2023. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely to check if the worn arm bushes flagged in 2025 have progressed to excessive movement, which would affect handling and tyre wear. The front tyres also require immediate replacement as they were noted as near the legal limit with uneven wear during the last test. Given the history of pitted brake discs, a physical check of the caliper condition and disc thickness is necessary to ensure the braking system has not seized or suffered from long periods of standing.
