2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · WJ10 VEO

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile due to a recent failure that contradicts historical consistency. While the most recent test on 21 March 2025 at 86,300 miles resulted in a failure with no specific defects recorded, this suggests an administrative anomaly or a non-mechanical failure rather than a clear mechanical breakdown. The preceding history from 2022 to 2024 shows a clean record with no advisories, indicating that the vehicle maintained a stable mechanical standard during that three-year period. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 86,300 miles represents an average of approximately 5,400 miles per annum. This low-usage pattern often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain and braking components but increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading due to age. The gap between the April 2022 test at 73,170 miles and the April 2024 test at 79,962 miles shows a consistent pattern of roughly 6,400 miles over two years, confirming the low-mileage nature of the car. A buyer must investigate the failure on 5 April 2024 at 79,961 miles, which occurred just one mile before a pass on the same day. Because the record lacks specific advisories for corrosion or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches, where Ford Ka models are prone to hidden rust at this age. Check the underside for seized brake calipers and perished suspension bushes, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from component seizing during long periods of inactivity.
