2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · WV64 RMX

This Ford KA has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across the five most recent tests, including the latest examination on 2025-10-29. The vehicle passed both the primary and supplementary tests on that date, suggesting no unresolved mechanical issues were present at 56,319 miles. While the duplicate entries for that date are unusual, they confirm the tester did not identify any major failings—structural, braking, or emissions-related—during the inspection. The absence of advisories or recurring faults implies the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the lack of any recorded wear items (such as suspension bushes or brake pads) means no proactive maintenance history is visible. The recorded mileage of 56,319 miles over approximately 12 years—roughly 4,693 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age, which typically accumulates 8,000–10,000 miles per year under normal use. The gap between tests is consistent at one year, with no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. For example, the mileage increased by only 2,623 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 2,096 miles by 2024, suggesting either light usage or extended periods of storage. While low mileage can indicate gentler wear on high-wear components, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been properly serviced to address age-related degradation, such as corrosion or suspension deterioration, which may not yet be visible but could develop over time. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components that often fail without prior warning, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Focus on the suspension system—check for cracked or degraded bushes, worn coil springs, and excessive play in ball joints or control arms, as these are common areas for gradual failure. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and callipers, even though no faults were recorded; the absence of advisory notes means no recent servicing history is evident. Structural integrity is another critical area: inspect the sills, wheel arches, and subframe for signs of rust penetration or distortion, especially if the vehicle has spent time in wet or salted environments. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions-related faults are not always immediately obvious during a basic MOT. While the MOT history suggests no immediate cause for concern, these elements are where age-related issues typically manifest.
