FORD KA1999 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy, as the last recorded MOT test occurred over fifteen years ago. The maintenance trend shows a terminal decline leading into the May 2011 test, where the vehicle failed a comprehensive inspection with multiple critical structural and mechanical defects. While the car previously maintained clean records during its early years, the lack of any testing since 2011 indicates it has likely sat off-road or operated without legal certification for over a decade. The mileage data is highly inconsistent and suggests a significant discrepancy in the recorded history. The vehicle showed 98,849 miles in January 2008, yet suddenly dropped to 9,916 miles by May 2010, ending at 13,654 miles in 2011. This impossible reduction in mileage indicates odometer tampering or a clerical error in data entry. The average usage of roughly 506 miles per year is exceptionally low, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and internal fluid corrosion despite the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points. The 2011 failure flagged excessive corrosion on the offside rear subframe mounting and suspension component mounting areas, alongside corroded seat belt anchorage. These are safety-critical structural failures that suggest advanced rust and poor environmental protection. The brake system also requires immediate attention, as the history shows recurring issues with seized rear brakes and parking brakes recording little to no effort, which is common in vehicles that remain stationary for long periods.
