2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · DX61 GXN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent certification. Following a failure on June 11, 2022 at 83,120 miles, the car passed its subsequent test seven days later on June 18 at 83,124 miles with no defects recorded. This rapid turnaround suggests a minor, non-critical failure occurred that was immediately rectified by the owner rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 83,124 miles is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. This low-usage pattern typically indicates short-distance trips, which can lead to reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, there is a significant data gap in the record as the last MOT was conducted in June 2022. As of July 2026, the vehicle has gone without an official inspection for four years, which raises serious concerns regarding its current mechanical state. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and wheel arches, as this model is prone to corrosion over time regardless of mileage. Given the low mileage, the inspector should check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber suspension bushes which often result from the vehicle sitting stationary. The lack of recent testing data means the condition of the tyres, exhaust system, and emissions levels remains entirely unknown, making a fresh MOT mandatory before any purchase.
