2012 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SC12 OGZ

This Ford Ka presents a profile of sustained roadworthiness, maintaining a clean record of passes without any recorded advisories or defects in its most recent inspections. Although a failure was noted on 20 July 2024, the vehicle successfully cleared subsequent tests on 24 July 2024 and 24 July 2025, demonstrating a stable mechanical condition regarding its essential safety and environmental components. The usage profile is defined by exceptionally low mileage, averaging roughly 3,827 miles per year to reach a total of 53,576 miles. This low-intensity usage pattern typically results in less mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox compared to high-mileage vehicles. However, the infrequent use associated with such low annual totals can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes or seals, which may not always be captured in a standard MOT if they have not yet reached a point of failure. Given the absence of specific advisories concerning corrosion, brake pipe integrity, or exhaust emissions in the official history, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of these systems. On a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking from the suspension when traversing bumps, which would indicate worn bushes or dampers. Check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel at varying speeds, and ensure the brake pedal provides a firm, consistent response without any noticeable judder or sponginess.
