2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CV11 YJL

The 2011 Ford Ka presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 10 August 2022 returning a pass at 53,489 miles and no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its final MOT just under four years before today's date, so the certificate has long since expired and the car has not been formally tested since. Prior to that, the July 2021 tests showed a clean pass on the 15th at 49,024 miles following a failed attempt on the 14th at 49,019 miles where the DVSA system logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 53,489 against a 15-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 3,566 miles per year. The jump from 49,019 miles on 14 July 2021 to 49,024 miles the next day is negligible, and the rise to 53,489 by August 2022 adds only 4,465 miles across thirteen months. This low annual use suggests light running with possible extended standing periods, which commonly allows corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. The history is sparse, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged across any entry. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and a physical inspection before any use, given the expired status and elapsed time. Standing time raises the risk of seized brake calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and degraded suspension bushes that a static record will not reveal. The clean test lineage offers no warning on structural integrity, exhaust emissions, or coil springs, so underbody corrosion and brake disc condition warrant direct examination. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing, though the lone failure with zero recorded defects points to a paperwork or identification error rather than neglected upkeep. The absence of advisories across three tests does not confirm fault-free condition today, only that nothing breached limits when tested. Treat the Ka as unverified until a current roadworthiness check is completed.
