2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YD10 AAN

The 2010 Ford Ka’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-01 at 113,793 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the prior test on 2025-10-23 at 113,788 miles resulted in a failure without recorded defects, indicating potential inconsistency in compliance. The 2024-10-18 test at 104,959 miles passed with no issues, while the 2024-10-14 test at 104,957 miles failed, again without defect details. This pattern of alternating passes and failures without specific technical findings implies either minor, unresolved issues or procedural variances in testing. The absence of recorded defects in recent tests does not confirm mechanical soundness, as critical components may have been overlooked. The vehicle’s mileage of 113,793 miles aligns with an average of 7,112 miles annually, typical for its 16-year age. The 2023-09-13 test at 97,407 miles showed no defects, but the subsequent 13-month period saw a 9,346-mile increase to 104,959 miles, followed by a 8,834-mile rise to 113,793 miles by 2025. This steady accumulation suggests consistent usage rather than prolonged inactivity. However, the lack of detailed defect reports in multiple tests limits insight into wear patterns, particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade with age and mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, which could explain recurring MOT failures. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, should also be checked, as it is common in older vehicles. While the MOT records lack specific defect details, the frequency of failures and the vehicle’s age necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
