2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AF62 KZT

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and positive maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 4 July 2025 at 102,101 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of success, as the car has cleared its annual inspections without any listed advisories since at least 2022. The single failure recorded on 22 June 2024 at 95,454 miles appears to be a procedural anomaly or an immediate rectification, given that the vehicle passed the same test on the same day without any recorded defects. With 102,101 miles covered over 14 years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,293 miles per annum, which aligns with standard usage expectations for a city car of this vintage. The mileage accumulation remains steady, showing no evidence of long-term storage or periods of neglect that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The consistent annual testing intervals suggest the owner has adhered to a regular maintenance schedule, which often correlates with better overall mechanical preservation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common failure points for this Ford Ka platform, specifically the condition of the front suspension coil springs and the lower wishbone bushes, which are known to degrade over time. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, surface corrosion on the subframe or brake lines can sometimes be overlooked by testers if it has not yet reached a critical structural threshold. Check the inner edges of the tyres for uneven wear patterns that might indicate misaligned geometry, and confirm that the handbrake holds firmly on an incline, as these mechanical systems often require adjustment despite passing annual inspections.
