2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LS10 ADO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 132,066 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met testing standards without recorded defects in the last two years. The immediate failure and pass in March 2026 suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing issues quickly to ensure the vehicle remains legal for the road. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,254 miles per year. However, there is a significant anomaly in usage between March 2024 and March 2025, where the car covered only 6,162 miles in a year. This contrasts with the much higher usage of 5,068 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026. Such fluctuations suggest periods of low use which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals despite the low annual mileage. While the record shows no recurring advisories, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age and mileage of this Ford Ka, corrosion on the rear subframe and sills is a common failure point that may not be flagged until advanced. You should also check for worn suspension bushes and leaking dampers, as the clean MOT history does not rule out mechanical wear that does not reach a failure threshold.
