2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FD10 AEL

The 2025‑12‑01 MOT at 60,596 miles records multiple failures, rendering the 2010 Ford Ka presently unsuitable for road use. Since the clean 2024‑11‑30 test at 49,721 miles, the vehicle has accrued over 10,800 miles and introduced new defects such as front exhaust mounting failure, rear exhaust silencer corrosion, and rear brake hose corrosion, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Earlier 2023 entries already showed rear tyre tread deficiency and coil spring corrosion, confirming that the list of advisories has been growing rather than stabilising. Although the average annual mileage of roughly 3,800 miles suggests light use, the recorded mileage has risen sharply from 43,677 miles in December 2023 to 60,596 miles in December 2025, a gain of more than 16,900 miles in just over two years, pointing to increased usage and likely greater wear on consumables and structural components. Earlier years show relatively low mileage with no recorded defects until 2020, when mileage began to climb more noticeably. A buyer should therefore focus on the rear brake hoses for corrosion, inspect the rear suspension bushes and arm pins for excessive movement, verify the condition of the coil springs and rear sub‑frame for rust, examine the exhaust mounting and flex for defects, check tyre tread depth and edge wear, and confirm that the rear position lamp functions, as these items represent recurring mechanical and structural concerns highlighted across the MOT history.
