2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FH10 GRK

The 2010 Ford Ka presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 213,472 miles on 24 November 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the December 2023 test at 200,346 miles, the November 2024 test at 207,833 miles, and the November 2025 test without any advisories or defects logged. A failed test on 14 November 2025 at 213,392 miles shows no defects recorded, yet the subsequent pass ten days later at 213,472 miles suggests the failure may have involved administrative or unlogged minor rectification rather than a substantive mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 213,472 against a sixteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 13,342 miles per year and placing this Ka firmly in high-use territory for its class. The records show steady annual accumulation: 191,694 miles in November 2022, 200,346 by December 2023, 207,833 by November 2024, and 213,392 by mid-November 2025. No standing gaps or abrupt jumps appear. The sparse clean sheet across five years implies previous keepers addressed wear before each test, though the absence of advisories at this mileage is unusual and warrants scrutiny of test thoroughness. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends for fatigue given the high mileage and age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for warping or binding after prolonged use. Structural integrity around sills, subframes, and wheel arches demands close examination for corrosion, as the MOT record logs no rust advisories that typically emerge on a 2010 vehicle at 213,000 miles. The unexplained November 2025 failure with zero recorded defects remains the key anomaly. Verify the failure reason via the full DVSA certificate and confirm the rectification carried out before the pass. Given the clean history, assume consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were maintained, but commission an independent inspection of drivetrain and steering before purchase.
