2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FD11 ABU

The 2011 Ford Ka presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-04 confirming no defects at 46,794 miles. Despite two prior failures in 2025 and 2023, neither recorded any issues, suggesting procedural or administrative reasons rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring critical defects, and the lack of advisories or failures in the last 12 months indicates consistent compliance. However, the absence of recorded defects in multiple tests raises questions about the thoroughness of inspections, particularly given the car’s age and low mileage. The vehicle’s mileage of 46,794 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 3,120 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may indicate periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, corrosion, or electrical system degradation. The MOTs are spaced consistently, with the 2024-06-14 test at 44,265 miles followed by a 2023-06-12 pass at 41,723 miles, showing gradual mileage accumulation. The lack of rapid increases or extended gaps between tests suggests routine maintenance, though the sparse defect data limits insight into underlying mechanical health. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the car’s age and low mileage. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may require scrutiny due to potential stiffness from inactivity. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles can develop issues from infrequent use. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, and a physical inspection is essential to confirm the car’s condition beyond the MOT records.
