2010 Ford KA 1.2L Diesel · LS10 AEE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 30, 2025, 91,390 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests annually. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test just days before securing a pass, suggesting that the previous owner addressed specific defects only when prompted by the official test results rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 91,390 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,700 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, there is a significant gap of 11,577 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, followed by 3,639 miles in the following year. Such periods of lower mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and brake hoses, which are not always reflected in the mileage alone. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Ford Ka models are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage. While the recent tests show no recorded advisories, the recurring short-notice failures indicate that items like bulbs, wipers, or minor components may be neglected until they fail a test. Inspect the brake system for seized calipers or perished seals to ensure the low-frequency use has not caused the braking hardware to rust or seize.
