2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CX10 UUD

The Ford Ka presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 12 January 2026 at 93,476 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories raised. The paired fail and pass entries on the same dates in January 2026 and December 2024 show administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults, as no defects were logged on either occasion. Recorded mileage sits at 93,476 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 5,842 miles per year, which is low for a sixteen-year-old car. The odometer moved just 1,506 miles between the 4 January 2024 test at 90,102 miles and the 19 December 2024 test at 91,970 miles, then only 1,506 miles again to the January 2026 reading. Such low annual use suggests prolonged standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishing of rubber suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper seizing even where the record shows no faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody and suspension mounts despite the clean MOT trail. Long idle spells invite structural corrosion on sills and subframes that a no-defect test may not capture if surface presentation stays acceptable. Check brake discs for rust pitting and confirm the rear calipers free off without binding after the car has stood. Given the sparse, fault-free record, previous keepers appear to have stored the Ka lightly rather than neglected it outright, but low mileage is no guarantee of fresh consumables. Verify tyre manufacture dates, brake fluid condition, and coolant age before purchase, as these fall outside MOT scope yet degrade with time on a low-use vehicle.
