2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · PE10 ACF

This Ford Ka is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 9 April 2026 at 73,539 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed its tests on 8 April 2026 and 4 April 2024, these failures were resolved within 24 hours, suggesting immediate rectification of minor issues rather than deep-seated mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered 73,539 miles over 16 years, averaging roughly 4,596 miles per year. This is low for its age. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent over the last two years, increasing from 63,354 miles in April 2024 to 73,539 miles by April 2026. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber seals. The absence of advisories across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as the MOT record does not flag any structural rust. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs during a physical inspection to ensure they have not perished due to age despite the low mileage. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacement. The clean MOT record indicates the car meets minimum legal standards, but it does not confirm a comprehensive preventative maintenance schedule. Focus on checking for any signs of oil leaks or coolant degradation that a standard MOT might overlook.
