2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · ND12 LLE

The 2012 Ford Ka is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 October 2025 at 62,646 miles with no defects recorded. The preceding test on 6 October 2025 at 62,643 miles also showed no defects, indicating that the earlier failure on the same day was likely a temporary or minor issue that was rectified before the final pass. All earlier tests from September 2023 through October 2024 were passed with no recorded defects, establishing a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle’s mileage of 62,646 at 14 years old translates to an average of about 4,500 miles per year, a figure consistent with regular, light use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Mileage accumulation has been steady: from 56,465 miles in September 2023 to 59,804 miles in October 2024 represents 3,339 miles over 13 months, and the subsequent increase to 62,646 miles by October 2025 adds another 2,839 miles in the following year, confirming continuous operation without long standing intervals. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brakes are not binding, and inspect the brake discs and calipers for scoring or corrosion, as these components were the focus of the earlier failures despite the absence of recorded defects. Structural rust on the chassis, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be assessed, along with the condition of the exhaust system and emissions output, since the MOT history shows no emissions breaches but the age of the vehicle warrants a close look. Finally, check the condition of the tyres, wiper blades and fluid levels, as low mileage does not guarantee the absence of consumable wear.
