2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CK12 AYV

The most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a sequence of five consecutive passes stretching back to July 2022. The maintenance trend appears stable; each annual test has returned a clean sheet, and no advisories have been logged for items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion during this period. The vehicle has covered 66,668 miles in 14 years, averaging roughly 4,760 miles per year. That low annual mileage points to light use or extended periods off the road, a pattern supported by the test intervals which cluster around the spring months. The gap between the July 2022 test and the April 2023 test is shorter than a full year, but otherwise the tests follow a roughly annual cadence. No rapid mileage accumulation appears in the recorded history. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on components that degrade with age and inactivity rather than wear. Brake calipers and rear wheel cylinders can seize after long standstill periods, while rubber suspension bushes, gaiters, and exhaust hangers often perish regardless of mileage. Structural integrity of the sills, floorpan, and inner wings warrants close scrutiny for corrosion that may not yet have triggered an advisory. Tyre sidewalls should be checked for cracking due to age, and the handbrake linkage examined for binding. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but it reflects only the condition at the time of each test; a thorough pre-purchase inspection remains essential to uncover any latent issues.
