2019 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YY69 HHD

A pattern of emerging wear on front-end components now characterizes the vehicle's roadworthiness, following a previously clean testing history. While the most recent inspection on 2026-05-09 resulted in a pass, it identified a deteriorated anti-roll bar dust cover and tyre wear, representing a decline in condition compared to the defect-free pass recorded in May 2025. The recorded mileage of 19,287 miles over approximately seven years indicates a low usage rate of roughly 2,755 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the MOT history between November 2022 and May 2025, which suggests the vehicle may have been stationary or otherwise exempt from testing for a considerable period. Such low-mileage profiles often result in components failing due to age and environmental degradation rather than mechanical wear from distance. Prospective buyers should specifically examine the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint, as the severely deteriorated dust cover noted in the latest test leaves the joint vulnerable to contamination and premature failure. Additionally, the front tyres require immediate scrutiny; the nearside front has a recorded cut, and the offside front is worn close to the legal limit with evidence of edge wear. On a test drive, listen for audible knocks or clunks when driving over speed bumps or through undulating road surfaces, as these are primary symptoms of failing anti-roll bar linkages. The steering should be monitored for any pull or instability that could be attributed to the uneven tyre wear flagged in the DVSA records. Finally, verify the current state of the nearside non-obligatory mirror, which was previously flagged as damaged in 2022.
