2008 Ford KA 1.3L Petrol · AF08 NMK

The 2008 Ford Ka shows a current roadworthy status following its most recent test on 22 October 2021, where it passed with no defects recorded at 104,719 miles. The maintenance trend across the supplied record is brief and stable, with no recurring advisories or mechanical faults logged. The only blemish is a failure on 13 October 2021 at 104,714 miles, which the tester cleared with no defects recorded five working days later, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. At roughly 18 years old the Ka carries 104,719 miles, equating to about 5,818 miles per year, which is low for its age and points to light use or extended periods off the road. The record jumps from a failed test at 104,714 miles on 13 October 2021 to a pass at 104,719 miles on 22 October 2021, a gain of just five miles, then shows no further entries for nearly five years to today's date of 8 July 2026. Such a sparse history with a long dormant gap means the vehicle has likely stood unused, raising the risk of perished rubber, seized suspension bushes, and corroded brake discs from inactivity rather than high-mileage wear. A buyer should physically inspect the front coil springs and lower suspension arms for cracking or rust, as standing vehicles commonly develop structural corrosion on the subframe and sills. The brake calipers may bind after years idle; check the rear drums and discs for scoring and free movement. Confirm the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewalls have not degraded from storage before any road use.
