2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · SL10 VCG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The final test conducted on 7 January 2023 at 51,863 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car was in a compliant condition at that time. This followed a period of passes in 2020 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components met minimum standards during those inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Ford Ka, averaging approximately 3,241 miles per year. Between the January 2020 test at 41,796 miles and the 2023 test at 51,863 miles, the vehicle covered only 10,067 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. Such inactivity can lead to internal corrosion in brake fluid lines or the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of structural integrity, specifically checking the sills and wheel arches for rust, as this model is prone to corrosion over time. Given the low usage, the inspector should also check for seized brake calipers or perished tyres that show cracking despite having deep tread. Since the last recorded MOT was performed over three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for testing and a fresh inspection is mandatory to verify that no significant faults have developed during the recent period of inactivity.
