2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AF62 KXU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 12 January 2026 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has maintained a clean pass record for the last three years. The failures recorded immediately preceding the passes in both 2025 and 2026 suggest minor, easily rectified non-compliance issues that were addressed promptly by the owner rather than a pattern of escalating mechanical failure. At 127,090 miles over 14 years, the Ford Ka has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year. This figure aligns closely with national averages for a small city car. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with a 2,324-mile interval between the January 2024 and January 2025 tests, and another 3,973 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation which often accelerates seal degradation and corrosion. While the recent MOT history is clean, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age and mileage, this model is prone to corrosion in the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor mounting points. The buyer should check the condition of the control arm bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of wear on this platform at high mileage. Additionally, inspecting the brake discs for excessive pitting or binding calipers is advisable to ensure the clean MOT pass does not mask underlying wear in the braking system.
