2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CV60 LLC

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by a transition from a period of multiple wear-related advisories to a current state of total compliance. While the test on 17 July 2024 flagged several concerns regarding the braking system, exhaust, and suspension, the subsequent clean passes on 30 December 2024 and 8 December 2025 indicate that these defects were rectified. The vehicle currently presents as mechanically sound according to the latest DVSA data. The recorded mileage of 61,550 miles is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,847 miles per year. This usage pattern suggests a life of light duty, which typically preserves the engine and gearbox from high-mileage fatigue. However, the previous recording of pitted and scored brake discs is a common mechanical consequence of low-use vehicles, where moisture and lack of regular friction allow surface corrosion to develop on the rotors. During a physical inspection and test drive, specific attention should be paid to the front end to ensure the previous advisories were fully resolved. Listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate that the nearside front lower suspension arm bush is still degraded. The braking system should be evaluated for pedal judder or uneven deceleration, symptoms that would suggest the previously pitted and scored discs were not replaced but merely cleaned. Further verification is required regarding the front exhaust system to ensure the previously noted leak has been sealed. A noticeable hissing sound or an increased drone from the engine bay during acceleration would indicate a recurring leak. Finally, check the current depth of the front tyres, as they were flagged as being close to the legal limit in 2022, to ensure they have been replaced in line with the vehicle's overall maintenance trend.
