2000 FORD KA1.3L PETROL

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and has sat without a valid MOT for over eleven years. The last recorded test occurred in November 2014 at 75,975 miles, which resulted in a significant failure due to excessive corrosion on seat belt anchorages and suspension component mountings. This represents a terminal trend in structural integrity, as the vehicle has not undergone a safety inspection since these critical safety-related areas were identified as severely corroded. The mileage profile of 75,975 miles over 26 years indicates an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 2,900 miles per annum. However, the data shows a complete cessation of activity after 2014. The twelve-year gap between the final recorded test and today's current date in June 2026 suggests the car has been stationary for a long period. Such prolonged storage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and accelerated corrosion in fuel-related systems, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough structural inspection of the chassis and body mount points. The 2013 failure noted an inadequate repair affecting structural strength near body mounts, and the 2014 test flagged excessive corrosion on the offside front lower suspension mountings. These are serious structural defects that cannot be rectified with simple part replacements. Furthermore, the history of oil leaks and perished brake hoses indicates that the mechanical and hydraulic systems require a comprehensive overhaul before the vehicle can be considered for road use.
