FORD KA2010 · 1.2L Petrol

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 2 September 2025 at 76,622 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to August 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical degradation. The mileage is low for a 16 year old car, averaging roughly 4,789 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively consistent, though there was a slightly higher accumulation between September 2022 and August 2023, where the odometer rose from 68,432 to 72,943 miles. The low overall usage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typical of urban commuting, though the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to dormant issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. While the MOT history shows no failures, cars of this age and low usage often suffer from perished rubber seals, hardened suspension bushes, and potential corrosion on the chassis or sills. I recommend checking for any signs of surface rust on the underbody and verifying the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking. The absence of any advisories over five years is rare for a Ford Ka of this vintage. It suggests a previous owner who addressed maintenance proactively before the official tests. Ensure the engine oil and coolant are clean and that the brakes do not feel sticky, as long periods of standing can cause binding calipers or pitted brake discs.
