2016 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AF16 POW

The 2016 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 5 May 2025 at 64,902 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available tests from 5 August 2021 to 5 May 2025 the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. This unbroken pass history implies the previous keeper addressed wear items before each test, reflecting disciplined basic upkeep rather than deferred faults. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old car. The odometer read 35,124 miles at the 5 August 2021 test, then rose to 50,499 miles by 28 September 2022, a roughly 15,000-mile surge over thirteen months that suggests a period of heavier commuting. From that point the car settled into lighter annual use, recording 58,544 miles in May 2023, 61,627 miles in May 2024 and 64,902 miles in May 2025, equating to under 3,500 miles per year across the final three tests. The record remains clean and sparse on detail, with no gaps exceeding fourteen months between examinations. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements despite the absent MOT flags. The tester logged no corrosion or suspension wear, yet Ford Ka chassis legs and sills are prone to rust in later life, so examine structural integrity around subframes and brake lines. Check suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for age-related fatigue that a lapsed certificate will not reveal. The May 2025 pass expired in May 2026, leaving the car without valid roadworthiness certification today.
