2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · EL61 LEW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on February 12, 2026, at 132,788 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate rectifications following failed tests. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the car failed its test one day prior to passing with no defects recorded on the pass, suggesting that minor items or consumable adjustments were addressed immediately by the owner to ensure legal compliance. At 15 years old, the recorded 132,788 miles represent an annual average of approximately 8,853 miles, which aligns with typical national averages for a small city car of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 9,615 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to perished seals or seized brake components. While the most recent tests are clean of defects, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. Given the age and mileage of this Ford Ka, structural corrosion on the rear wheel arches, sills, and subframe is a common failure point that requires scrutiny. You should also check the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these are the first items to degrade on vehicles with this mileage. The lack of recorded advisories in the history indicates the tester found the vehicle in good order, but a manual check of the brake discs for thinning or pitting remains essential to confirm the absence of hidden rust between tests.
