FORD KA2003 · 1.6L PETROL

The 2026-06-18 test resulted in a PASSED rating (80,399 miles), indicating that the vehicle maintains its roadworthiness through a stable maintenance trend for the tested period. The tester flagged several recurring faults, including a minor exhaust leak, a corroded integral body structure, and nearside front brake hose deterioration, which suggests that while the mechanical integrity is not compromised, the vehicle has not undergone a complete overhaul in recent years. The 2024-01-13 test confirmed that the rear tyre cracked or perished, and the 2023-02-11 test corroborated this condition with similar findings, indicating that the wear on critical components has been consistent since the 2020-01-27 test. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 3,496 miles per year, which is low for its age of 23 years but consistent with a vehicle that has been used relatively sparingly or maintained at a high mileage. The gap between the 2020-01-27 test and the 2024-01-13 test is roughly 1.5 years, suggesting that the vehicle has not experienced significant mileage accumulation since the 2020-01-27 test. This period of stability implies that the vehicle has not suffered catastrophic wear or structural failure during this time, although the specific faults listed in the 2024-01-13 record indicate that the vehicle has been used for a short duration and has not maintained its mechanical integrity. Given the recurring faults such as a corroded integral body structure and nearside front brake hose, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural rust and brake fluid levels. The 2020-01-27 test noted that the front brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored, which is a warning sign of potential brake system failure even if the disc is not seriously weakened. The 2024-01-13 record confirms that the rear tyre cracked or perished, and the 2023-02-11 test corroborated this condition with similar findings, indicating that the wear on critical components has been consistent since the 2020-01-27 test. The 2026-06-18 test confirms that the vehicle maintains its roadworthiness through a stable maintenance trend for the tested period. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, which suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a complete overhaul in recent years.
