2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · ML12 AEN

The vehicle appears to be in a stable condition regarding its MOT compliance, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 78,302 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass suggests a minor, rectifiable issue was addressed. The absence of any advisories or failures between July 2022 and July 2025 indicates a consistent maintenance pattern with no recurring issues involving suspension, braking systems, or emissions. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,593 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 65,522 miles in July 2022 to 78,302 miles in July 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light use, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, such low usage can sometimes lead to seized components or perished rubber bushings due to extended periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the underbody to check for surface corrosion or structural degradation, which is common in older Ford models. Given the low mileage, I recommend checking the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking and inspecting the brake discs for pitting or heavy corrosion from lack of use. You should also verify that the suspension bushes and coil springs show no signs of fatigue or excessive movement.
