2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FD10 AEV

The 6 March 2026 MOT at 65,022 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets roadworthiness standards and the recent maintenance trend appears stable, though earlier tests such as the February 2026 failure at 65,020 miles revealed serious rear axle corrosion and front brake disc wear, showing a history of recurring faults. The mileage trajectory shows a low annual average of about 4,064 miles per year for a 16‑year‑old vehicle, yet the increase from 32,472 miles in August 2016 to 65,022 miles in March 2026 represents a gain of roughly 3,255 miles per year, with a noticeable acceleration between 2020 and 2026 as the odometer rose from 51,565 miles to 65,022 miles. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear structural integrity, paying close attention to the corroded rear axle and any signs of rust on the chassis, as well as the condition of the rear shock absorber bushes that have repeatedly been flagged as excessively worn. In addition, the front brake disc, which was reported warped and worn in February 2026, and the front brake pads, which were recorded below 1.5 mm in February 2024, merit immediate verification, along with the suspension ball joint play, tyre tread depth, and the functionality of the rear stop lamps that have failed on multiple occasions.
