2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · GL11 GGU

The 2011 Ford Ka demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT result, which was a pass on 2025-10-20 at 86,326 miles. No defects were recorded, and the vehicle has maintained compliance since 2022, with consistent passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025. A single failure in 2024-09-03 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass suggests either a technical anomaly during testing or a resolved minor issue. No recurring defects or structural concerns are evident in the record, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage of 86,326 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,755 miles annually, which is below the average for its age. This low usage rate implies infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation such as corrosion or seized mechanisms. Notable gaps between tests—such as the 10-month interval between 2022-10-25 (75,866 miles) and 2023-08-26 (80,690 miles)—suggest irregular maintenance scheduling. However, the absence of defects in most tests indicates the vehicle has not suffered significant wear despite its low mileage. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as prolonged inactivity can cause stiffness or failure. The braking system, including brake discs and calipers, should also be checked for corrosion or binding, as low mileage may mask wear. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but the 2024 failure without defects warrants scrutiny to ensure no unresolved issues persist. Regular maintenance and thorough pre-purchase checks are advised to confirm the vehicle’s continued reliability.
