2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · DL11 YHC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 03 July 2025 with 40,671 miles. This pass followed a failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage, suggesting a minor administrative issue or a trivial defect that was rectified immediately before the retest. The history shows consistent clean passes across the last three years, indicating that the vehicle maintains its structural and mechanical integrity without recurring major failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,711 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 34,768 miles and July 2025 at 40,671 miles, the car covered 5,903 miles, confirming very infrequent use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such long intervals of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown which the MOT test does not capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than mileage wear. Check for perish and cracking in suspension bushes, brake hoses, and tyres, as low-frequency use often causes flat spotting and dry rot. Examine the chassis for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as older Ford models are prone to structural rust regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verify the brake discs for surface pitting, which is common when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods.
