2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · FP12 CVV

The Ford Ka presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 9 April 2026 at 92,403 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination returning a clean result aside from two anomalous failures that carried no recorded defects. Those failures occurred on 9 April 2026 and 25 March 2024, both at the exact mileage of the same-day passes, indicating administrative or procedural rejections rather than mechanical faults. Mileage progression sits within typical bounds for a 14-year-old car. The record shows 73,498 miles on 25 March 2024, rising to 81,369 by 12 April 2025 and 92,403 by 9 April 2026. That equates to roughly 8,000 and 11,000 miles in the respective intervals, marginally above the lifetime average of 6,600 miles per year but not indicative of harsh use. The DVSA data is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged on any pass, so the history offers limited insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the absence of any advisory capture in the record. The clean MOT trail does not confirm structural integrity beneath sills or subframes, where 2012-era Ford bodies commonly develop corrosion. Verify the circumstances of the two zero-defect failures, as a same-day fail and pass at identical mileage may reflect a documentation error rather than a true mechanical clearance. Given the lack of flagged faults, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though the absence of advisories across four tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and warrants hands-on verification of tyre condition, exhaust emissions, and binding calipers before purchase.
