2002 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · LT02 AHG

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of roadworthiness. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 24,510 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that prevents common age-related failures. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2002 model, averaging roughly 1,021 miles per year. The record shows a period of very light use between May 2022 at 18,837 miles and June 2021 at 18,685 miles, where the car covered only 152 miles in a year. More recent usage has increased slightly, with 3,399 miles added between June 2023 and June 2025. Such low usage often suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which carries its own set of mechanical risks. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Rubber elements such as tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and coolant hoses can perish over twenty-four years even if the car is not driven. The absence of MOT advisories is positive, but the age of the Ford Ka makes structural corrosion a primary concern. Check the sills, wheel arches, and chassis rails for rust that may not have reached a failure threshold during the June 2025 test. Verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure no surface corrosion or seizing has occurred due to the low annual mileage. While the DVSA records show no faults, a physical check for oil leaks and a review of the service history will confirm if the engine has received regular oil changes despite the lack of road use.
