2016 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CA66 AAN

The 2016 Ford Ka currently passes the DVSA MOT, having cleared the test on 28 May 2026 at 100 695 miles. However, the same day a separate failed test at 100 693 miles recorded several defects, signalling a persistent trend of recurring faults rather than an improving condition. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows a pattern of intermittent issues rather than a stable, well‑maintained unit. Mileage growth has been steady. From 87 571 miles in November 2024 to 93 262 miles in June 2025, the car accumulated 5 691 miles over seven months, roughly 8 200 miles per year. The next 7 433 miles were logged between June 2025 and May 2026, a slightly lower 6 800 miles per year. No large gaps appear in the record, and the average annual mileage aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. A prospective buyer should examine the rear suspension for corrosion on the coil springs, as noted in the June 2025 test, and verify the condition of brake pads and discs, given the thin pads recorded in November 2024. Tyre tread depth and pressure monitoring system functionality are critical, with multiple failures reported in the same period. Additionally, confirm the correct aim of the headlamps, the adjustment of the parking brake lever, and the operation of the direction indicators, all of which were flagged in the latest test. A thorough inspection of these components will reveal whether the recurring faults have been adequately addressed or remain a risk to the vehicle’s roadworthiness.
