2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · Y13 JCM

The car presents a roadworthy and stable maintenance record. Its most recent test on 9 April 2026, at 126,839 miles, was a clean pass with no defects recorded. Across all five listed MOT entries, the tester logged zero advisories and zero defects. The one failure, dated 12 April 2024 at 113,012 miles, appears without any recorded defect, and the vehicle returned eight days later with a clean pass at 113,162 miles. That pattern points to a single rectifiable issue rather than a developing mechanical problem. The trend is stable, with no evidence of chronic faults, structural corrosion, or brake and suspension neglect being flagged during any inspection. The recorded mileage sits at 126,839 miles over roughly sixteen years, equating to about 7,927 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. The annual test pattern is consistent, with no gaps in coverage. Between May 2023 and April 2024 the car covered 6,667 miles. The following year saw a slower 5,627 miles, while the most recent year returned to 8,050 miles. That variance is minor and reflects ordinary usage rather than heavy commercial work or long periods of standing. No mileage discrepancies appear, and the cumulative distance is in line with the vehicle's age. Given the flawless MOT history, the buyer should focus on what the DVSA record does not capture. A 2010 Ford KA at this mileage is prone to corrosion in the rear spring mounting seats, sills, and floorpan; a clean test result does not guarantee that rust is absent. The suspension should be checked for knocking from worn anti-roll bar links and bushes. Brake discs, pads, and the condition of the flexible hoses and hard pipes all merit a close look, especially if any caliper has begun to bind. The consistent emissions passes suggest the engine runs within tolerance, but oil leaks, coolant condition, and general drivetrain wear sit outside the scope of an MOT. A pre-purchase inspection on a lift is strongly advisable, focusing on structural integrity and the age-related components that an official test can easily miss.
