2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SA62 XPO

The 2012 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 103,235 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding successful tests also closed with clean sheets. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no outstanding advisories carried forward. Recorded mileage sits at 103,235 against a 14-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,374 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The DVSA log shows 79,679 miles on 23 August 2022, then 85,108 on 23 August 2023, 94,083 on 9 September 2024, and 103,235 on 10 April 2026. Annual use held near 6,000 to 9,000 miles with no abrupt accumulation. A failed test on 14 August 2023 at 85,105 miles preceded the pass nine days later, yet the record lists no defects for either entry, so the rejection cause is undocumented in the supplied data. Given the clean history, the previous owner appears to have maintained basic statutory testing without neglected consumables surfacing as advisories. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion implies no chronic structural or mechanical risks logged across the timeline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity, brake caliper operation, and exhaust emissions, since MOT passes with no defects do not certify component life remaining. Verify the 2023 failure rationale with DVSA, as the missing defect detail leaves a minor gap in the service evidence.
