2016 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · WP66 CXG

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following recent reactive repairs. The most recent test in July 2025 at 31,224 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previously identified issues have been addressed. This represents an improvement over the 2023 and 2024 inspections where multiple mechanical points required attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered only 7,397 miles, suggesting a pattern of short-distance trips or long periods of inactivity. While this low usage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often accelerates the degradation of rubber-based parts due to age and oxidation rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and rubber components, given the history of deterioration. The July 2023 test at 27,137 miles flagged severely deteriorated front suspension arm ball joint dust covers, and the 2024 test at 29,022 miles identified a perishing nearside rear tyre. These recurring faults are characteristic of low-mileage vehicles where rubber dries out before the tread wears away. Check for cracking in sidewalls, boots, and bushings to ensure the low mileage has not masked further material fatigue since the last MOT.
