2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AV11 WDW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 19 May 2025 at 42,474 miles resulted in no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets minimum legal standards. Following a single failure on 18 May 2023, the owner successfully rectified the issues to achieve two consecutive clean passes, suggesting a proactive approach to maintenance when faults arise. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 37,414 miles and the 2025 test at 42,474 miles, the car covered only 5,060 miles. This low usage rate suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the long intervals between periods of use indicate the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid-related internal issues regardless of the low amount of distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Ford Ka models are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Despite the clean records, the age of the vehicle means that suspension bushes and shock absorbers may perish from age rather than friction. Check the braking system specifically for signs of seized calipers or perished hoses, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from surface rust on discs and internal corrosion when not frequently used.
