2010 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YC60 ACY

The 2010 Ford Ka holds a valid roadworthy pass from the 20 October 2025 test at 114,780 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied MOT entries remains stable. The DVSA log shows fail outcomes on 16 October 2025 and 16 October 2023 at identical mileages to the following passes, yet each failure carries no listed defect. That pattern points to administrative or procedural anomalies rather than any worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage tracks typical use for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The tester logged 88,859 miles at the 17 October 2023 pass, 98,908 miles at the 11 October 2024 pass, and 114,780 miles at the 20 October 2025 pass. Those figures show annual advances of roughly ten thousand then sixteen thousand miles, a slight uptick but still consistent with private motoring. No testing gaps occur; the keeper booked annual autumn inspections with steady odometer progression, implying routine use and basic statutory compliance. A clean MOT ledger does not exempt a 114,780-mile Ka from age-related wear that a test only flags when defective. The buyer should inspect suspension bushes and front coil springs for cracking or play, and examine brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding after long service. Structural integrity around sills and subframe demands a close eye for corrosion, since sixteen winters can degrade metal without triggering advisories. Exhaust mounts and emission components warrant physical checks despite passing limits. The twin fail-with-no-defect entries suggest the previous owner may have presented the car for test without resolving minor non-mechanical formalities, or the station recorded retries anomalously. This behaviour does not indicate skipped mechanical upkeep but warrants confirmation of test certificates and V5C in person. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains the sound course.
