2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LM11 ABF

The 2011 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 17 October 2025 at 39,644 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories logged, showing the vehicle has avoided any recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a fifteen-year-old car. The odometer moved from 35,560 miles at the 22 October 2021 test to 39,644 miles by October 2025, a total of 4,084 miles over four years or roughly 1,021 miles annually. Such low accumulation, about 2,643 miles per year across its life, suggests extended standing periods rather than daily driving, and the clean test history gives no indication of skipped entries or sudden mileage spikes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as prolonged inactivity accelerates perishing of rubber components and surface rust even when MOT tests show clear. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for seizure after long storage, despite no binding flagged in the record. Given the absence of any advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity, prior owners appear to have maintained the car to a basic passing standard without deferred consumable neglect. The low mileage and unbroken pass sequence imply careful, infrequent use rather than hard wear, though a pre-purchase examination remains prudent on a vehicle of this age.
