2016 FORD KA1.2L Petrol

The 2016 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 27 November 2025 at 73,177 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five consecutive annual examinations from 29 November 2021 through to the latest test, the vehicle cleared every inspection without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken clean record indicates the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that satisfied statutory roadworthiness checks each year. Annual mileage averaged 7,318 miles against the recorded 73,177 at ten years of age, a figure consistent with typical private use. The test history shows steady accumulation: 44,073 miles in November 2021, 52,786 in November 2022, 61,420 in November 2023, 68,394 in November 2024, and 73,177 in November 2025. No gaps or abrupt jumps appear in the sequence. The sparse but clean dataset offers no evidence of long standing periods or neglected consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the absence of tester advisories does not preclude age-related wear on a decade-old chassis. The Ford Ka of this generation is prone to rear axle corrosion and subframe degradation in damp conditions, so structural integrity around the sills and suspension mounts warrants close scrutiny beneath the vehicle. No recurring faults or mechanical risks emerged from the MOT trail to direct targeted investigation. The clean pass pattern suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, though pre-purchase checks on tyre sidewall condition and exhaust emissions remain prudent given the car's mileage bracket.
