FORD KA2010 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on June 2 2025 at 74,609 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying minor issues immediately to ensure compliance. Despite the intermittent failures, the vehicle has maintained a clean record regarding mechanical and structural defects over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,663 miles per year. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 5,178 miles, while it covered 4,616 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This consistent low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake fluid moisture which is not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Ford Ka models are historically prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel pans. Although the clean MOT history suggests no immediate structural failure, the low mileage often means that suspension bushes and tyres may have suffered from age rather than wear. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2025, the inspector should specifically check for minor items like bulbs, wipers, or fluid leaks that might have triggered those previous re-tests before being addressed.
