2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YR61 CLF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 108,042 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of neglect in early 2025. While the car failed its April test that year due to critical brake wear and suspension issues, the subsequent re-test with no recorded defects indicates that the previous owner addressed the primary mechanical failures required to meet safety standards. The recorded mileage of 108,042 miles over fifteen years represents an average use of approximately 7,200 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a small city car. There is a consistent accumulation of mileage, with 9,200 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2025, and another 1,500 miles leading into the January 2026 test. This suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as the record reveals a recurring history of worn anti-roll bar linkages, arm ball joints, and lower bushes. Although these appear to have been replaced following the 2025 failure, the frequency of these faults suggests the front end is subject to significant stress. The braking system also shows a pattern of deferred maintenance, with discs and pads flagged in 2024 and failing in early 2025. An in-person inspection should verify the current wear levels of the discs and ensure the recently replaced components are not already showing signs of premature play.
