FORD KA2010 · 1.2L Diesel

The 2010 Ford Ka presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-07-24 at 48,057 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals inconsistent outcomes, including a fail on 2025-07-24 at 48,051 miles and a prior fail on 2024-08-02 at 42,420 miles, both without recorded defects. This suggests potential administrative or procedural anomalies, though the absence of technical findings implies no critical issues were identified. The lack of defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle is currently compliant, but the repeated fails without explanation raise questions about the reliability of the data. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, from 35,770 miles in 2023 to 48,057 in 2025, averaging approximately 3,000 miles annually. This low mileage for a 16-year-old vehicle suggests minimal usage or periods of inactivity, which could lead to component stiffness or corrosion. Notably, the 2024-08-02 test at 42,420 miles coincided with a fail, but no defects were logged, creating a gap in actionable data. The sparse record lacks details on consumables like tyres or brake wear, which are critical for older vehicles. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary. Structural integrity, especially underbody rust, is another concern given the age. While the MOT history shows no overt failures, the lack of detailed findings necessitates a thorough mechanical examination to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded tests.
