2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · DA10 UXY

The 2010 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 100,020 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 22 June 2023 at 93,017 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or unclassified failure rather than a mechanical fault, with the car subsequently passing eight days later at 93,179 miles. Recorded mileage sits at 100,020 against an age of sixteen years, equating to roughly 6,250 miles per year, which is typical for the vehicle's class. The odometer moved from 88,615 in June 2022 to 93,179 by June 2023, then 96,384 in June 2024 and 100,020 by May 2025, showing steady low annual use with no abrupt accumulation. The clean pass history across these dates implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though the sparse advisory data means wear on items such as suspension bushes or brake discs was never formally flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe, sills, and suspension mountings for corrosion, as the MOT record carries no advisories that would confirm these areas were examined in depth. The unexplained June 2023 failure warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code if available, to rule out a latent emissions or lighting fault cleared before the retest. Given the car's age, expect original coil springs and dampers to show age-related fatigue even if the tester raised no concern. Tyres, wiper blades, and fluid levels should be verified at point of sale since the record offers no insight into consumable condition. The absence of recurring mechanical defects points to a lightly used, reasonably preserved example, but sixteen years of service means rubber components and exhaust hangers deserve hands-on scrutiny before purchase.
