2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CX60 TGE

The 2010 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 1 November 2025 at 62,114 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the 12 October 2024 test at 60,339 miles also passed clean. The vehicle shows no escalating faults across the available history, and the two failure entries from 2023 and 2024 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at those tests rather than mechanical rejection. Recorded mileage sits at 62,114 against a 16-year lifespan, averaging roughly 3,882 miles per year. The September 2023 test at 58,375 miles and the October 2024 test at 60,339 miles show low annual use of around 1,900 miles, with a further 1,775 miles added by November 2025. Such low accumulation suggests extended standing periods, which on a Ford Ka of this age raises the prospect of perished rubber components, seized suspension bushes, and corroding brake discs from inactivity rather than wear. The repeated failed tests with no defects logged on 21 September 2023 at 58,375 miles and 7 October 2024 at 60,337 miles warrant scrutiny. A buyer should verify the VOSA failure reasons in person, as the DVSA feed shows blank defect fields. These may reflect documentation errors, but they break an otherwise clean pass sequence and deserve confirmation before purchase. Given the clean advisories and the low-mileage profile, a physical inspection should target structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes for corrosion, check brake calipers for binding after standing, and assess tyre sidewall condition for cracking. The absence of recorded advisories does not exempt the buyer from confirming the exhaust emissions and coil springs, as 16-year-old Ford KAs commonly develop spring fracture and bush degradation unseen in a pass result.
