2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · PX61 HCV

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently passable for a 2011 model, with the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-05-27 at 65,833 miles. While the 2025 and 2024 tests were passed, the 2023-08-24 failure at 58,963 miles indicates a lapse in maintenance that has not been fully resolved. The consistent failure of the 2023 test suggests a recurring issue rather than a single acute event, which points toward a lack of regular upkeep rather than a sudden mechanical breakdown. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle exhibits a clear gap between its 2023-08-24 test and the 2025-05-27 test. While the 2025 test shows no defects, the 2024 test at 63,605 miles was also passed, suggesting that the 2023-08-24 failure may have been isolated to specific wear points such as suspension bushings or brake components rather than a complete structural failure. The rapid accumulation of miles since the 2023-08-24 test without a new MOT suggests that the vehicle has not been adequately serviced since then, leaving the drivetrain and suspension vulnerable to further deterioration. A buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and wear on critical components, particularly the suspension and brakes, given the history of a failed MOT. The 2023-08-24 failure likely flagged binding rear brakes or worn suspension bushings, which are common causes of these failures. Since the 2025-05-27 test was passed, the brakes may appear sound, but the suspension likely still requires checking for loose bushings or worn coil springs. It is essential to verify these components before purchase, as the vehicle carries a warning that its structural integrity and mechanical health have deteriorated over the past year.
