2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FE11 YTC

The 2011 Ford Ka shows a consistent history of maintenance, though the record reveals recurring issues with the braking and suspension systems. In the most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 45,634 miles, the vehicle passed without any advisories, suggesting that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a failure in the January 2024 test at 40,861 miles, where the car failed due to insufficient brake pad thickness and worn front discs. The transition from that failure to a clean pass indicates the owner performed the necessary repairs shortly after that. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. This low usage often results in less wear on engine components, but it can also lead to age-related degradation of rubber parts and corrosion. Evidence of this appears in the February 2023 test at 38,138 miles, where testers noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear coil springs. While these are common points of failure on this model, the absence of advisories in subsequent tests suggests the springs were either replaced or have not yet failed. Overall, the vehicle presents a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The technical history shows that the owner responds to safety-critical failures, as seen with the brake system overhaul in 2024. A buyer should still inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and check the condition of the suspension bushes, as these are typical areas of concern for this Ford model. The current clean MOT status confirms the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition as of the last inspection.
