2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AF61 VEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 29 September 2025 at 76,471 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate subsequent pass suggests a minor defect was rectified quickly without indicating a deeper mechanical decline. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record with no advisory notes, indicating a consistent level of maintenance over the several years. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 54,929 miles and the September 2025 test at 76,471 miles, the car covered 21,542 miles. This steady progression suggests light usage, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the low-mileage nature of the vehicle can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber-based components or seized brake seals if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as these Ford models are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, check for perished suspension bushes and the condition of coil springs which may have fatigued from age. You should also inspect the brakes for binding calipers or uneven disc wear to ensure the recent MOT failure and pass were not related to a recurring hydraulic issue.
