FORD KA2011 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2011 Ford Ka presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 106,518 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Across the five entries from February 2023 to October 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, indicating consistent upkeep and no worsening mechanical trend. The single failure on 9 February 2024 at 97,506 miles is anomalous, as the record shows no defects cited and the same-day pass at identical mileage suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a fifteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,100 miles per year. The odometer moved from 90,597 miles in February 2023 to 97,506 miles in February 2024, then to 104,845 miles by February 2025 and 106,518 miles by October 2025. This reflects steady, moderate accumulation with no rapid spikes or prolonged dormancy. The sparse but clean history offers little evidence of neglect, though the lack of advisories across all tests means wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and corrosion were either within limits or not scrutinised closely enough to flag. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record never listed such checks as concerns despite the vehicle's age. The front suspension arms, coil springs, and exhaust emissions system warrant physical verification given the Ka's propensity for rust at chassis mounting points. The unexplained February 2024 failure demands clarification from the selling party to confirm no hidden brake or lighting defect was rectified off-record before the same-day pass.
