2014 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YP14 ADV

The 2014 Ford KA presents a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 August 2025 at 24,598 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend stays stable across all five DVSA tests from February 2022 through August 2025. Every examination returned a pass with zero advisories or mechanical flags. Mileage data reveals an unusual usage profile for a twelve-year-old car. The February 2022 test at 13,027 miles and the February 2024 test at 14,045 miles show only 1,018 miles accumulated over two years. The August 2024 check at 14,183 miles confirmed near-dormant running. A sharp reversal occurred by 14 August 2025, when the odometer read 24,598 miles, a 10,415-mile jump within twelve months. Such a sudden transition from static storage to regular commuting implies a change of ownership or purpose. No recurring faults or structural corrosion appear in the official record, so the buyer encounters no documented mechanical trends. Still, age alone stresses components unseen by the tester. Ford KA sill sections and rear axle mounts can harbour hidden rust despite a pass result. A physical underside inspection remains essential. Brake discs and caliper slides that sat idle for years may now show pitting or stiffness under load. Tyres and suspension bushes degrade with time rather than distance; the buyer should check sidewall cracking and bush compliance in person. The clean history suggests prior statutory compliance, but the recent mileage surge means drivetrain items have only entered normal wear phase.
