2016 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SF65 ABS

The 2016 Ford Ka is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑01 at 87,653 miles. The maintenance trend is stable; a single failure recorded on 2024‑04‑02 at 81,081 miles was rectified within 24 hours, as evidenced by the immediate pass on 2024‑04‑03. No defects have been logged in any of the subsequent tests, indicating that the vehicle has been kept within specification since that brief lapse. Mileage progression shows a typical pattern for a ten‑year‑old model. Between September 2023 (69,854 mi) and September 2024 (81,104 mi) the car added roughly 11,250 mi, then remained essentially static around 81,080 mi in early April 2024 before gaining another 6,549 mi by September 2025. The average annual increase of about 8,800 mi aligns with the expected wear rate, and the MOT record provides a relatively complete coverage of the vehicle’s usage history. A buyer should focus inspection on the systems that previously caused the April 2024 failure and on age‑related wear items. Examine the brake discs, pads, calipers and associated hoses for binding or uneven wear, and check the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration. Visual assessment of the underbody, wheel arches and door sills for corrosion or rust is essential, as is a thorough look at the exhaust and emission components. Tyre tread depth, pressure and alignment should be verified, and any signs of oil or coolant leaks inspected. A comprehensive walk‑around will confirm whether the clean MOT history reflects genuine mechanical health or merely the absence of recorded defects.
