2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LM10 AAO

The 2010 Ford Ka demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-17 at 92,469 miles resulting in a pass and no defects recorded. A prior failed test on 2025-09-15 at 92,467 miles also showed no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor technical issue resolved swiftly. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no recorded faults, indicating the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical intervention. The vehicle’s mileage of 92,469 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 5,779 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests either infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on static components like rubber seals, suspension bushes, and battery health. The MOT records show minimal gaps between tests, with the longest interval from 2023-12-05 (88,534 miles) to 2024-12-04 (91,635 miles), a 3,101-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a slower 834-mile rise to 92,469 miles by 2025-09. A buyer should inspect for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as corrosion on underbody components, degraded suspension bushes, or binding calipers from lack of use. Despite no recorded faults, the low mileage raises concerns about potential hidden issues in the exhaust system, brake discs, or structural integrity. A thorough pre-purchase check should include a detailed inspection of the chassis, suspension travel, and brake functionality to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness beyond MOT records.
