2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · WF14 WDZ

A recurring pattern of tyre wear and suspension component advisories defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, though the most recent test on 05 November 2025 shows no recorded defects. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record since 2018, the period between 2021 and 2024 saw frequent advisories regarding tyre tread depth and edge wear on the rear axle. The most recent inspection indicates an improvement in the recorded condition, as the previous advisory concerning the offside front Macpherson strut pin or bush from October 2024 was not carried forward into the latest certificate. The recorded mileage of 64,816 miles suggests a relatively low usage profile for a 2014 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,401 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is significantly lower than the UK average, which can imply less frequent mechanical stress on the drivetrain and braking systems. However, the consistent advisories for tyre wear on the rear axle suggest that even with lower annual mileage, the vehicle may be subject to specific driving patterns or alignment issues that accelerate tread depletion on the edges of the tyres. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension and steering geometry during a test drive. The 2024 advisory regarding the offside front Macpherson strut pin or bush indicates potential wear in the front suspension assembly. You should listen for any knocking or clunking noises when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, and check for any pulling to one side during straight-line driving, which could indicate that the strut or bush issues have progressed. Given the multi-year history of advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges, a thorough inspection of the current tyre tread and sidewall condition is essential. Look specifically for uneven wear patterns on the inner or outer edges of the rear tyres, as this can be a symptom of incorrect camber or toe settings. If the tyres show significant edge wear, it may indicate that the suspension components flagged in previous years have impacted the vehicle's alignment, potentially necessitating a professional wheel alignment to prevent premature replacement of new rubber.
