2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FG62 AEA

The 2012 Ford Ka demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-18 inspection at 83,990 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. No advisories or failures suggest the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear. The lack of recurring faults in brakes, suspension, or structural integrity implies the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 83,990 miles over 14 years equates to approximately 5,999 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like rubber seals, battery life, or corrosion resistance. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2022-08-13 (63,801 miles) and 2022-10-03 (64,628 miles), a 1,000-mile increase over six weeks. Subsequent tests maintained steady mileage progression, suggesting predictable usage patterns. A buyer should inspect for signs of long-term storage, such as dry-rotted tyres, corroded underbody components, or seized suspension bushes. While no structural issues were flagged, the low mileage may mask wear in drivetrain components or fluid degradation. Checking brake discs for uneven wear and confirming the exhaust system’s integrity would be prudent, as these elements are not always tested during MOTs. The vehicle’s clean MOT record supports its reliability, but physical inspection remains critical to verify hidden conditions.
