2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FH10 EXD

The 2010 Ford Ka presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 9 September 2025 at 75,257 miles recording no defects. Prior to that pass, the same date shows a failed test at identical mileage with no defects logged, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The September 2024 test at 70,811 miles and the September 2023 test at 65,901 miles both passed cleanly, though 2023 also opened with a no-defect failure on the same day. Across the four-year span the vehicle cleared every functional examination without advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust, or structure. Recorded mileage sits at 75,257 against a 16-year life, an average of roughly 4,700 miles per year. The Ka gained only 4,446 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, then 4,356 miles to September 2025. That low annual use implies light running with possible extended standing periods, which can age rubber bushes, seals, and tyres through weathering rather than abrasion. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected consumables, but the duplicated same-day fail entries in both 2023 and 2025 suggest loose test administration rather than owner mechanical indifference. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion, as low-mileage Fords of this era commonly suffer perishing from disuse. Examine the subframe and sills for structural rust, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the engine's infrequent warm cycles. The absence of advisories across the record offers reassurance, yet the Ka's standing time means worn tyres or flat-spotted rubber may surface despite the clean history.
