2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · GP10 AEX

The 2010 Ford Ka’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-25 at 94,316 miles recorded a pass with no defects, suggesting a stable roadworthiness status. However, the same date also shows a failed test with no defects listed, which may indicate administrative errors or unrecorded issues. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 showed consistent passes at 85,870 and 80,586 miles, respectively, with no defects. The lack of recorded faults in recent tests implies no critical mechanical failures, but the vehicle’s low annual mileage of 5,895 miles raises concerns about potential corrosion or component degradation from infrequent use. The vehicle’s mileage pattern shows minimal accumulation between 2023 and 2025, with only 4,730 miles added over 24 months. This slow growth suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on rubber components, suspension bushes, and brake systems. The 2024-04-24 pass at 85,870 miles and subsequent 2025-04-25 pass at 94,316 miles indicate no major mechanical decline, but the absence of defects in the record does not confirm the absence of underlying issues. Buyers should verify if the vehicle has been regularly driven or stored, as low mileage can mask problems like seized calipers or corroded exhaust systems. A physical inspection should prioritise the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, which may show signs of fatigue from limited use. Brake discs and pads should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as infrequent driving can lead to binding calipers. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for rust, especially if the vehicle was parked for extended periods. While the MOT history lacks critical failures, the low mileage and recent administrative anomalies in the records warrant a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
