2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SH61 WKD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance following a period of mechanical neglect in late 2022. The car has passed three consecutive MOT tests without any recorded defects, with the most recent pass on 11 June 2025 at 56,556 miles showing a clean sheet. This indicates that the current owner successfully addressed previous mechanical failures and has since maintained the vehicle to passing standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,770 miles per year. Data shows consistent but light usage, with 3,112 miles covered between May 2024 and June 2025, and another 4,429 miles between November 2022 and May 2024. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion due to a lack of regular operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and exhaust system given the history recorded in the November 2022 failures. The tester previously flagged a worn nearside front inner suspension arm bush and a worn nearside rear upper shock absorber bush, which should be checked for play or cracking to ensure the repairs were comprehensive. Additionally, because the exhaust system previously showed a defective mounting, flexi section, and corroded rear section, a visual check of the entire system and hangers is necessary to confirm that corrosion has not progressed since the last repair.
