2010 Ford KA 1.2L Diesel · LS10 YRN

This Ford Ka demonstrates an exceptional record of roadworthiness, characterized by a complete absence of defects or advisories across its most recent four annual inspections. This trend of stability is confirmed by the clean pass on 13 May 2025, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without the typical wear-and-tear flags usually seen in vehicles of this vintage. The recorded mileage of 100,052 miles is consistent with the vehicle's sixteen-year age, averaging approximately 6,253 miles per year. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has been used regularly rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity or the accelerated wear of high-mileage commercial use. Mechanically, this suggests that while major components have seen typical operational life, they have not been subjected to extreme stress. Despite the clean MOT history, a vehicle exceeding 100,000 miles requires a focused physical inspection of high-wear consumables. During a test drive, attention should be paid to the steering rack and suspension bushes for any knocks or play, and the clutch pedal for any slipping or unusual resistance, as these are common wear points for this model at this mileage. Any vibration through the steering wheel or judder under braking should be noted, as these would indicate wear not yet captured in the official testing record. A thorough check of the underbody for any emerging corrosion is advised, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these areas are susceptible to rust in older small cars regardless of a clean test sheet. Listen for any exhaust leaks or unusual engine noise during cold starts and acceleration to ensure the drivetrain remains as healthy as the MOT history suggests.
