2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YC10 MLJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 16 2026 at 82,878 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The failures in March 2024 and March 2026 occurred just two miles before the successful tests, suggesting that the owner addresses minor defects or compliance items immediately to ensure the vehicle remains legal. This indicates a proactive approach to basic maintenance rather than a history of neglect or recurring mechanical failures. The mileage profile is low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,180 miles per year. Data shows significant periods of low use, notably only 1,596 miles between March 2024 and February 2025, and only 4,000 miles between February 2025 and March 2026. While low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, seizing of brake calipers, and internal corrosion due to lack of fluid circulation. A buyer should physically inspect the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Ford Ka models are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear floor pans. Given the low mileage and age, pay close attention to suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perished, which occurs over time regardless of distance. The record does not list specific recurring advisories, but a check of the brake discs for pitting is necessary given the vehicle's history of stationary periods.
