2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AJ10 XGZ

The Ford Ka presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 9 May 2025 at 73,596 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. This indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a basic pass standard, though the record lacks depth on wear-item condition. Recorded mileage stands at 73,596 against a 2010 build, averaging circa 4,600 miles per year. The tests show light annual use: 64,723 miles on 5 May 2023, 70,829 on 24 April 2024, and 73,596 by May 2025. A two-mile gap separates the 8 May 2025 failure and the 9 May pass, both at near-identical mileage, suggesting a same-week rectification rather than a defect trend. The data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension, or brake issues ever noted. The 8 May 2025 failure at 73,594 miles and the 24 April 2024 failure at 70,829 miles both list no defects, pointing to administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and suspension bushes in person, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop unseen corrosion or perished rubber. Verify the reason for the two no-defect failures via DVSA portal before purchase. Given the clean pass on 9 May 2025, only standard pre-purchase checks apply: test brake discs for lip wear, confirm coil springs are intact, and scrutinise exhaust emissions. No recurring problem warrants specialist intervention from the record.
