2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · RO11 ACF

The Ford Ka holds a valid pass certificate from the 22 May 2025 test at 52,760 miles, some fourteen months before today's date, with no defects recorded, confirming roadworthy status at that time. Maintenance trend stays stable across the documented history, with passes logged on 31 October 2022, 31 May 2023, 28 May 2024 and the recent 2025 examination. The single failure on 21 May 2025 at 52,754 miles listed no defects, and the immediate pass one day later suggests a procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage relative to the 15-year age shows light use overall. The odometer showed 37,990 miles at the late 2022 test, then 38,902 on 31 May 2023, a mere 912 miles in seven months. Distance rose to 42,791 by 28 May 2024 and reached 52,760 by May 2025, an added 9,969 miles in the final year. This late increase still leaves average annual travel near 3,500 miles. The sparse five-entry record carries zero advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion or exhaust emissions, implying either cautious ownership or limited inspection depth. A buyer must still arrange a physical inspection despite the clean ledger. The tester flagged no structural integrity issues, coil springs or binding calipers across any visit, yet the unexplained fail before the pass demands scrutiny of paperwork and bodywork. Check underbody for rust, examine steering joints and assess tyre tread and wiper blades given the vehicle's age. Prior keepers sustained statutory MOT compliance but the absence of advisory notes on a 2011 car is unusual and may conceal worn components below failure threshold. An independent mechanic should evaluate chassis weld points, exhaust mounts and braking efficiency before purchase.
