2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · GL11 HMZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 March 2026 at 37,958 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in March 2025, the immediate re-test pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to keep the vehicle legal. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered only 1,622 miles, and it added 1,622 miles in the year leading to the failure. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and braking components. However, such infrequent use can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber components and seals that perish over time due to inactivity rather than mechanical use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically the sills and rear wheel arches, as these Ford models are prone to corrosion regardless of mileage. Given the vehicle's low usage, the inspector must check for perished suspension bushes, split brake lines, or seized calipers that may result from long periods of standing. The tyres should also be evaluated for age cracking, as low-mileage often suffer from rubber rot before the tread depth is exhausted.
