2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · BF58 AAN

The vehicle appears to be in a stable roadworthiness condition based on the most recent MOT data. The August 2025 test resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum legal requirements for operation. While the record shows two instances of failure in 2023 and 2025, the lack of specific defect descriptions in the data suggests these may have been minor or rectified immediately, as the vehicle successfully passed the subsequent tests. The recorded mileage of 52,767 miles is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,932 miles per year. This pattern suggests the car has seen very light usage or has spent significant periods stationary. The progression from 47,831 miles in August 2023 to 50,385 miles in August 2024, and finally to 52,767 miles in August 2025, shows a consistent and slow accumulation of distance. This low usage profile reduces expected wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components. A physical inspection is required to check for signs of deterioration caused by long periods of standing. You should specifically examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and various rubber seals for cracking or perishing. Given the low annual mileage, the vehicle may have experienced less mechanical stress but could suffer from seized brake calipers or corroded exhaust systems due to moisture accumulation. Check the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframes, which is common in older Ford models. While the MOT history shows no ongoing mechanical trends, the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related issues like perished tyres or degraded fluid quality. Verify that all consumables have been maintained despite the infrequent use.
