2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LO11 AEJ

The 2011 Ford Ka demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2026-02-02 at 142,371 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance through all five tests since 2021, with no recurring issues or advisories. This consistent performance suggests the previous owner prioritized regular maintenance, avoiding significant mechanical or structural deterioration. The absence of failures in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions indicates the car remains viable for continued use, provided routine servicing is upheld. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage, averaging 9,491 miles per year over 15 years. Notable gaps between tests—such as the 14-month interval between the 2022-12-03 test (110,313 miles) and 2024-01-12 (132,568 miles)—do not reveal abrupt mileage spikes, though the 22,255-mile increase over 13 months in that period may indicate periods of higher usage. Subsequent tests show steady accumulation, with 137,748 miles recorded in 2024 and 142,371 in 2026. The MOT history lacks anomalies, suggesting no major component failures or excessive wear. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often degrade over time. While no structural rust or emissions issues were flagged, a physical check of the chassis and underbody for corrosion is advisable. The clean MOT record implies responsible ownership, but mechanical components like the drivetrain and exhaust system warrant scrutiny to confirm they remain within safe operating parameters.
