2017 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · VX66 UGE

The 2017 Ford Ka presents a stable and improving mechanical trajectory, culminating in a completely clean pass on 13 January 2026 at 44,236 miles with zero defects. The MOT record demonstrates a clear transition from minor consumable wear in its earlier years to consistent, defect-free operation recently. A single advisory appeared in January 2022 at 10,073 miles for front tyre wear, but subsequent tests show no recurring faults, indicating diligent upkeep and timely replacement of worn components. Accumulating 44,236 miles over nine years equates to a low annual mileage of roughly 4,915 miles, suggesting predominantly short-town use or extended periods of inactivity. However, the recent usage pattern tells a different story. Between 18 January 2025 at 30,357 miles and 13 January 2026 at 44,236 miles, the car covered 13,879 miles in a single year. This sharp increase in annual mileage contrasts sharply with the mere 1,721 miles covered between January 2022 and January 2023, pointing to a distinct change in driving habits. Despite the clean recent history, a physical inspection must focus on the suspension and running gear. The 2022 advisory for worn edges on both front tyres suggests potential misalignment or degraded suspension bushes, issues that may have been resolved but require verification through a tyre wear check. Prolonged standing often leads to flat-spotted tyres and surface corrosion on brake discs, so examine the rubber for uneven wear and the braking components for binding calipers or lipping. Finally, the January 2024 test noted a child seat obstructing the nearside rear adult belt; a buyer must remove any child restraints to verify the webbing integrity and retractor mechanism function properly.
