2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · LS11 CFJ

The Ford Ka presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 December 2025 at 63,689 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The December 2025 test came one day after a failure on 2 December 2025 at identical mileage, though the DVSA record lists no defects for either event. A similar pattern occurred in November 2024, where the car failed on 14 November at 58,686 miles and passed the next day with no defects logged. These back-to-back fail-pass pairs with zero recorded faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, and no advisories or corrosion, brake, or suspension concerns appear anywhere in the file. The mileage record shows light use for a 2011 vehicle. From the 24 August 2023 test at 55,970 miles, the car covered just 2,716 miles to the November 2024 test at 58,686 miles, then a further 5,003 miles to December 2025 at 63,689 miles. That equates to roughly 4,246 miles per year overall, well below typical averages. The sparse three-year MOT span with two clean passes and one earlier pass means the history is thin but unblemished by recorded wear items, though the low and occasionally static mileage implies the car may have stood unused for periods, which can age rubber components and brake calipers regardless of the odometer. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fifteen years. Standing time accelerates perished rubber and seized handbrake mechanisms even where the MOT logged nothing. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles in 2024 and 2025 warrant a check of the VOSA failure reason codes if available, to confirm no suppressed advisory on tyres, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity exists outside this summary. Given the clean defect sheet and low annual mileage, the Ka reads as a lightly used city car with no flagged mechanical risk in the official data. Verify the bodywork underneath for corrosion and confirm the braking system is free from binding before purchase, as these are the typical failure points the short MOT record does not capture.
