2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FH12 EXP

The 2012 Ford Ka presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 14 May 2025 at 34,332 miles. Every recorded MOT test over the last five years has passed without a single defect or advisory, indicating a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard. This unblemished record suggests a conscientious approach to servicing and immediate rectification of any minor issues before they escalate into failures. The mileage accumulation aligns precisely with the low-mileage context provided, averaging roughly 2,452 miles annually. Between the June 2021 test at 22,516 miles and the May 2025 test at 34,332 miles, the odometer advanced by just 11,816 miles over four years. The annual increments remain remarkably consistent, moving from 22,516 miles in 2021 to 25,341 miles in 2022, 28,330 miles in 2023, 30,496 miles in 2024, and finally 34,332 miles in 2025. Such steady, minimal usage points to short, local journeys rather than long-distance commuting, a pattern that keeps cumulative wear low but demands specific attention to certain components. Despite the flawless MOT history, the low annual mileage requires a targeted physical inspection of components prone to deterioration from standing rather than driving. A vehicle covering barely 2,500 miles per year likely sits idle for extended periods, which can cause brake discs to surface corrode and calipers to bind despite passing the prescribed roller test. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the tyres, looking closely for sidewall cracking and perishing caused by age rather than tread wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs also warrant scrutiny, as a lack of regular use can sometimes accelerate rubber degradation. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, ensuring that the structural integrity remains sound despite the gentle mechanical workload.
