2011 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · YR61 CLU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 63,049 miles passed, it flagged both front tyres as worn to the legal limit with uneven wear. This follows a period of instability where the car failed in March 2025 due to a weakened axle spring mounting and structural tyre damage. The trend suggests that components are only addressed once they result in an MOT failure rather than being replaced when they first show of of. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 63,049 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent but low-interval usage, with only 1,318 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 1,226 miles leading up to the most recent test. This low-use profile suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and the accelerated surface corrosion noted in the inspection records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The record shows persistent corrosion across the coil springs, shock absorbers, and brake drum plates dating back to 2024. Specifically, the 2025 failure for a seriously weakened axle spring mounting indicates that structural rust is a recurring concern for this chassis. The buyer should also check for perished rubber on the sidewalls, as the history repeatedly flags issues with tyre cracking and cracking across multiple years, indicating the material is aging out despite the low mileage.
