2016 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YA16 SOE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 10 June 2025 at 9,150 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This suggests the vehicle has remained in a good mechanical state without the progressive degradation or structural corrosion typically seen in older cars. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 915 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the car covered only 1,148 miles, indicating very infrequent use or intermittent storage. There is a notable gap in usage between May 2021 and June 2022, where the vehicle recorded 1,606 miles in a thirteen-month period. This low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often introduces specific risks associated with vehicles sitting stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must inspect for issues related to this long-term storage. A physical inspection should focus on brake discs and calipers for corrosion or seizing, as well as tyre flat spotting or sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. Rubber components such as suspension bushes and seals should be checked for perished, as these degrade over time regardless of miles driven. The buyer should also verify that fluids, particularly oil and brake fluid, have not absorbed moisture or degraded during the periods of inactivity.
