2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CV61 EYH

The 2011 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 15 September 2025 at 76,645 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in September 2024 at 67,461 miles and July 2023 at 56,967 miles also passed with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical or structural faults across its recent history. The recorded mileage of 76,645 over roughly fifteen years equates to a low average of about 5,110 miles per year, suggesting light use or extended periods off the road. The gap between the July 2022 test at 53,554 miles and the July 2023 test at 56,967 miles shows only 3,413 miles covered, with a similar low annual increment to 67,461 by September 2024. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with the only anomaly being a failed test on 7 July 2023 at 56,967 miles logged with no defects recorded, likely an administrative reversal same-day before the pass, rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the limitations of a low-mileage standing pattern that can accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion. The absence of recorded advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity is reassuring, but DVSA tests do not strip components, so check underneath for rust on sills and subframes. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, with no skipped years and no recurring consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blade failures. This implies basic upkeep was met, though the long dormancy implied by low mileage warrants verification of fluid condition and brake binding before purchase.
