2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · CY10 CVU

The most recent MOT test on 27 March 2023 recorded a failure at 56,411 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects against the vehicle. This leaves the roadworthiness status unresolved and the maintenance trend impossible to judge from the data supplied. The prior test on 29 March 2022 passed cleanly at 52,678 miles with no advisories, so the single later failure with no recorded faults is anomalous and demands clarification before any purchase. The odometer shows only 3,733 miles added between March 2022 and March 2023, and a total of 56,411 miles across roughly sixteen years equates to about 3,500 miles per year. That is low for a 2010 Ford Ka and suggests either light commuting use or extended periods off the road. The record contains just two entries eleven months apart, so the history is sparse and offers no view of wear before 2022 or any consumable replacement pattern. A buyer should obtain the failure reasons from the test centre or DVSA, as a clean pass followed by a defect-free fail points to either an administrative error or a fault the record did not capture. Given the low mileage and age, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion warrant a physical inspection, along with brake discs and calipers that may have suffered from standing unused. The absence of advisories in 2022 means no creeping wear was flagged on tyres, exhaust, or structure at that point. Until the 2023 failure is explained, treat the car as unverified for roadworthiness and budget for a full independent inspection of mechanical and structural components.
