2010 FORD KA1.2L Petrol

The 2010 Ford Ka’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 at 59,880 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend following two consecutive failures in 2025-08-20 (59,734 miles) and 2024-08-29 (56,070 miles). The lack of recorded defects in the latest test implies corrective actions were likely taken, though the repeated failures without specific issues noted raises questions about the nature of the problems. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears currently adequate, but the inconsistent test outcomes warrant closer scrutiny of underlying mechanical conditions. The car’s mileage of 59,880 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 3,742 miles annually, a low figure that may indicate infrequent use or periods of inactivity. However, a significant mileage jump from 56,070 miles (2024-08-29) to 59,880 miles (2025-10-28) suggests accelerated usage in the 14-month period between those tests, potentially accelerating wear on components like tyres, suspension, and brakes. The sparse defect records in passing tests contrast with the failures, which may reflect minor issues resolved prior to retesting. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of unresolved mechanical stress, particularly in the braking system and suspension, given the repeated MOT failures. Check for corrosion in body panels, as low mileage can sometimes mask rust in hidden areas. Verify the condition of brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes, as these components are critical for safety and may show wear inconsistent with the vehicle’s recorded mileage. The absence of detailed defect reports means physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’sTrue mechanical state.
