2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CE60 EEH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in September 2025 with 74,298 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving following a period of significant advisories in 2023. While the two most recent tests are clean, the historical data indicates that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or monitored by the owner. The mileage profile is notably low for a vehicle of 16 years age, averaging approximately 4,644 miles per year. There is a distinct gap in usage between 2021 and 2022, where the car covered only 188 miles over a twelve-month period. This extremely low-frequency use suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it also indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody, as records from 2022 and 2023 consistently flagged heavy corrosion across all metal components in both the front and rear. Specifically, the 2023 test identified heavy corrosion and play in the upper top bushes on both sides. While these did not cause failure in later tests, the presence of pervasive rust is a known vulnerability for this model and requires close scrutiny to ensure structural integrity. Furthermore, the rear artwork hoses should be inspected for corrosion at the ferrules, a recurring advisory noted in the 2022 and 2023 records. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, the risk of perished rubber or seized braking components is higher than standard mechanical wear. Ensure that the heavy surface rust noted in the past has not progressed into structural rot that would compromise the long-term roadworthiness of the car.
