2012 FORD KA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a highly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 22 December 2025 at 120,823 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest. The overall record indicates a consistent standard of upkeep over the last three years of recorded history. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,630 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2025, the car covered 11,981 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 4,000 miles annually. This lower-than-average accumulation reduces the mechanical strain on drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage city cars. The regularity of the annual tests suggests the vehicle has been used on a predictable schedule rather than left stationary for long periods of neglect. Given the clean advisory history across the last four tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this model. At over 120,000 miles, structural integrity is the priority, specifically checking for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches where these Ford models often degrade. You should also inspect the suspension bushes for perish and the brake lines for signs of corrosion, as the record has not flagged these areas recently. The lack of recorded advisories implies the previous owners addressed issues before they escalated, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of rubber components and fluid integrity.
