2019 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YL19 RBY

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward minor consumable neglect recently. The most recent test in April 2026 at 38,997 miles resulted in a pass despite flagging a perished nearside rear tyre and a failed non-obligatory rear stop lamp. These issues represent minor trim defects rather than mechanical failure, suggesting that while the car is fundamentally sound, it requires attention to basic rubber and lighting components. The mileage profile is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. Between 2022 and 2023, the car covered 6,539 miles with absolutely no recorded defects, indicating a period of well-maintained use. However, the 2024 test at 30,911 miles revealed that nearly 6,000 miles resulted in both front tyres reaching the legal tread limit and showing uneven wear. This suggests that despite the low mileage, the vehicle may be experiencing alignment issues or simply being neglected between service intervals. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for further perishing, as the cracking noted on the nearside rear in 2026 indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. The uneven wear reported on the front axle in 2024 warrants a check of the suspension bushes and steering geometry to prevent premature tyre scrubbing. Since the record shows no structural corrosion or brake system failures, the primary focus should remain on age-related rubber components and ensuring the low-mileage usage has not led to fluid degradation or brake seizing.
